A letter by Francis Brody that described the visit to Matisse was on one of LACMA’s sites. Where can I find this? Also I would like to know the site that mentions seriographs that were authorized and signed by Matisse. Please help.

Matisse – to the untutored, seemed to produce odd, child-like paper-cuttings. Ahhhhh, but learn the stories and the study that went into his work and he is revealed to be such a fine talent.

I understand how some art-lovers believe this lovely work should have been placed in a garden or home-like setting; However, the dramatic spotlighting of the work INSIDE not only dramatically showcases it, but best preserves it for many future years of enjoyment. (Things don’t get STRONGER or SAFER just because they get OLDER.)

The ‘recorded account of the commission and purchase’ alas, is now disconnected. Please consider reinstalling it. (I bet you won’t need a CRANE – Ha!) The gift is still so new to the museum, the voice of the former-owner would be a delightful enhancement to the overall presentation.

It looked better in a home setting with the tree!

Sandra, the Matisse is installed inside the Modern Art galleries on level 2 of the Ahmanson Building – right at the top of the grand staircase in that building.

Interesting blog and a stunning piece for LACMA. I saw it today as I was walking up the stairs, perfect location. Stephanie Barron is also responsible for one of the most beautiful galleries I have ever seen…the Modern Art Gallery. If you go to LACMA you must see it.

Thank you Ms. Barron, you are a true visionary that LA desperately needs.
