The Heard Museum has a new exhibition that features some artwork by Henri Matisse, an artist I would never expect to see in a museum dedication to the art of Native American people.
The pieces by Matisse include works that have not been publicly shown in the United States before and include a vast array of black and white portraits that were inspired in part by some Yup'ik (Native Alaskan) masks that were collected by his son-in-law Georges Duthuit.
Some of the masks were also included in the exhibit and they were equally intriguing.
The photo at the top is of a catalogue of the masks that was illustrated by Matisse and below that is one of the many drawings. the last two photos are of some of the masks.
Along with the drawings and the masks, there were photographs, films and other objects included in the exhibit.
It was interesting to learn something totally unexpected about a well known Great Master.
