Don't love the pin solution. You could commission a burlap manufacturer to create a custom weaving with acid-free linen fiber.
20 years from now the paper will be all ripped on the points of contact with the pins due to gravity, and I can't wait to see the restoration then.
As they don't have the original Burlap surface, which could have logically been considered part of the art work, they may as well replace it with a polyester weave made to simulate the visual appearance of the bedroom wall's burlap. I suppose the return to the use of pins would be true to how it was created and I would like to think they're only using the original pin holes and not creating more. Still; I fear for localized stress of the weight of the paper pulling on them over the years. Also I'm not sure about the use of coloured pencil for restoration as it's neither easily removable (as the suggested poly weave would be) or true to the original materials.
Why use acidic burlap again? Why not dye canvas or something?
And the pins hurt me. Why make holes in the work??? There must be a reversible adhesive option
casually says 2000 hours!?!?!?
So cool! I absolutely love how all of those involved had a particular intrest in keeping the organic intergrity to the artwork. It's so important to care for the painting as much as you all do! - one very impressed viewer
Matisse himself would have been proud of the design for graphics as the credit rolls on this short video.Those blues are just delighting.
Never really liked Matisse's oils, but i do LOVE his cutouts
You people need to look and listen more carefully to the video. Matisse originally pinned the cutouts to the burlap
Obrigada!! (Muito bom ter legendas em português!!)
Considering Matisse's method in this piece, 2,000 hours could be spent to utilize state-of-the-art scanning, cutting technologies in order to provide the audience a more matching view with the original piece of art.
My jaw dropped when he started hammering pins onto the cutouts! I mean, what?! That just seems soo invasive and disrespectful... Unbelievable. My jaw is still on the floor.
Did you try to clean and deacidify the burlap? I've been able to remove stains from cotton, so I'm wondering why that wasn't done to this piece so as to retain Matisse's original materials used?
His cutout is also great like his colour ....!!!!
The pins made me scream. WHY?
I think the original cutouts were pinned to the burlap backing.
agree, horrible solution.
Leaving the far wall blank without a neutral colored faux window/door seems like a cheapened experience...they should have also added sitting pieces and acoustic treatments
I like their work more than the artwork
Does anyone know what type of blue Matisse used in this cut out? Thank you
The work is wonderful, but why put it on burlap again, he may have used the burlap because that is what was around....you know I love the way this looks..a swimming pool...really should be made with ciramics or tiles and build into a swimming pool...imagine how wonderful to swim with this figures all around...a dream of a space..
This video is so so dorky and hilarious to thousand hours picking out imperfect dark burlap at the same time I want my room to have me living in a world of my artwork
Crazy!!! I didn't know he did that before his death!!! I did something like this twice in my 2nd ex-wife apartment, the 1st my ex wife and me painted a lot of small water colors and some large pieces, tape them on to her apartment walls like collage it look really cool her entire living cover on our own hand made water color paintings!!! It was like having a studio and being and artist!!! Some of the best experiences I had in a long time. 2nd piece was a bit crazier performance art with plastic art mix media , from buggers to expensive perfume, designers fabrics and my own blood!!! The name of the piece was WHY!!! She didn't like it. After that one she divorced me. 🤣🤣🤣
tight
If that's the Derwent Coloursoft Cloud Blue ... it's only got a 1 on the Blue Wool scale.
Im also against the pins, conservation can be easily work out by cleaning and vacuuming it properly.
They’re unpinning it once it’s off display - a few months
I love all the armchair Art conservators in this comment thread... “The PINS! Oh, horrors!”. Folks, it’s the Museum of Modern Art doing the conservation. They wouldn’t have proceeded with this method if it was bad for the work of Art. But by all means, chirp away with your learned opinions....
Pins? Seriously?
Wouldn't the way the artwork flows and changes with time hold more meaning that restoring it to it's original, wouldn't temporarily give it an additional layer of meaning and conceptual strength? Awesome restoration process + work put into that nevertheless! :D
on pins it looks arithmic, and somehow not serious ...... as if in haste! couldn't they have come up with something else?
马蒂斯创作生命本质的有机生命造形使他的艺术返朴归真到达真艺术的极高水平和鲁梭夏卡尔阿普同级
"PINS" don't make any sense to me, either. That's like something I might do........
One of four comments. Sweet.
Would have been simpler to just remake it.
the edges of those reworked cutouts looks too jagged...lost the sense fluidity...oh well
The pins is like agression to the masterpiece. Come on guys! Holes on this art really??? 😡😡😡
Pinning? That too on the blue parts? Really? The worst decision Ever!
but is it the original artwork anymore? you guys were ready to remove the white paper to add new. art isnt meant to be kept forever. let it die.
I don't know about the pinning of it ,,, actually damaging the art...
Matisse is laughing from his grave at the efforts to conserve this rather childish 'Artwork' that we all learned to do when we were 5 year's old. The art world is full of snobs who throw bouquets at crap and make them out to be something more than they actually are. An excellent example being 'My Bed' by Tracey Emin, pure thrash, quite literally!
This sort of art confuses me. It's just blue shapes cut out and attached to white paper. It's something that every one of us can do. Sure, I guess it has nice... flow? But it's not like it takes skill, like other works of art do.
I will give you a simple answer . He was the first person ever to do that , so he invented this style of art. And after he did that millions of people & students used this technique which was originally invented by Mattise . That’s why it’s iconic
this just proves once again that all you need is connections to become a famous artist
