This exhibition, on through June 30, includes some of the greatest, most enigmatic works of Henri Matisse's long career, as the artist responded to the cruel chaos of World War I. Among the 117 works in the show, a weirdly beautiful 1913 still life, "Flowers and Ceramic Plate," an almost entirely blue canvas with a green disk (the ceramic plate) hovering above a bright bouquet, demonstrates Matisse's self-described "methods of modern construction."
