🎨 #OTD in #Art #History 4 December 1961, an eagle-eyed visitor pointed out that the #Museum of #ModernArt #NewYork had hung #HenriMatisse's LE BATEAU upside down. It had been that way for 47 days, unnoticed by
curators and 116,000 visitors; including #Matisse’s son Pierre.

#JournalEntry of the week ✨Sneaking in some beauty… my latest entry is a recreation of #HenriMatisse’s “Odalisque with Gray Trousers” reimagined with a sexy man, all curves & desire #QueerArt #QueerCreatives #GayArt #ArtSky #MaleFigureDrawing

I went to the Museum of Modern Art two years ago today to see the exhibition of #HenriMatisse's #art; in addition to "Le Panneau Rouge" (The Red Studio), I got to see his wonderful "Jeune Marin II" (Young Sailor II) (1906), which is like the 'femme' to the 'butch' of "Jeune Marin I" (1906) (5.8.22)

Peter Walsh on "Matisse at War: Art and Resistance in Nazi Occupied France" (@penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social). All in all, this is a crisp, entertaining, and, so far as I can see, an accurate account of the last acts in #henrimatisse’s career.
