18 Aug Dreaming of Fabrics and Wallpapers: Les Reves Collection from Nina Campbell
The unique use of colour by of one of the greatest 20th century artists, Henri Matisse (1869-1954), and the people and places with whom he was associated, have inspired renowned international designer Nina Campbell to present this painterly collection of printed fabrics, weaves and wallpapers: “Les Reves”… The Dream…
“ I’ve always been enchanted by Matisse’s use of textiles and ceramics, in his paintings. His work shows a wonderful sense of colour and love of pattern….an interior designer at heart! ”
– Nina Campbell
Henri Matisse’s Luxe, calme et voluptè (Luxury, Calm and Pleasure) was painted in the summer of 1904 at Paul Signac.
The Musèe d’Orsay (The Orsay Museum), housed in the former railway station, the Gare d’Orsay, holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1914, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography, and is probably best known for its extensive collection of impressionist masterpieces by popular painters such as Monet and Renoir. Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum’s opening in 1986.
