“What interests me most is neither still life nor landscape: it is the human figure. It is through it that I best succeed in expressing the nearly religious feeling that I have towards life.” - Henri Matisse
This online exhibition presents a selection of works by significant artists exploring the human figure, spanning the past 115 years to the present.
