| book description |

A contemporary artist of international renown, Alain Godon (Bourges, 1964) has been given carte blanche at the Musée Départemental Matisse to focus on the journey made by Matisse in 1930 from New York to Tahiti. This re-appropriation of Matisse's journey, including his discovery of New York and its architecture, as well as Polynesia, is paralleled by a questioning of the notion of the term 'journey' itself and its different meanings. With paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs and installations made especially for the exhibition, Alain Godon offers us works which, although they can be immediately understood, are in fact far more complex, unveiling a unique universe that for those who take the time to look deeper is home to tales of everyday life. Using the same singular imagination he shares with Matisse, Godon reveals his desire to bring joy and happiness into his work. Text in English and French.
