More Matisse

We saw some great Matisses at the Grand Palais last November, but we're lucky to have another great exhibition at Beaubourg, the Georges Pompidou Center, called "Matisse, Pairs and Sets."

Matisse was a perfectionist and had a tendency to repaint the same subject over and over again till he was satisfied with it. Through a selection of masterpieces, the exhibition shows the exploration of the same subject, repeatedly. This was fun for the kids because it allowed them to compare similar pieces of artwork and pick their favorite.

We met with some friends at the museum, and after the exhibition we strolled over to Place Stravinsky for some coffee and crêpes.
