Matisse From Tate Modern and MoMA

Director: Phil Grabsky

Celebrate the giant of modern art on the big screen.

Hailed as the most successful exhibition in Tate Modern’s history, you can now catch Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs at your local cinema, featuring exclusive new footage from The Museum of Modern Art in New York, where it is currently on view through February 8, 2015.

Audiences are invited to enjoy an intimate, behind-the-scenes documentary about this acclaimed exhibition with contributions from people who knew Matisse and experts such as curators, historians, and Tate director Nicholas Serota and MoMA director Glenn D. Lowry. Plus there are breathtaking, specially commissioned performances by Royal Ballet principal dancer Zenaida Yanowsky and jazz musician Courtney Pine. Acclaimed British actor Simon Russell Beale brings insight and emotion to the words of Henri Matisse himself, while actor Rupert Young (Merlin) narrates.

'The way the film captured Matisse at work, bringing his artistry to life – including resonant readings from Simon Russell Beale – was genuinely inspiring' - Apollo Magazine
