- In our latest ArtSpeaks episode, Eana Kim, the Marcia and Jan Vilcek Fellow in the Department of Paintings and Sculpture chose Henri Matisse's "Dance (I)" because his work led her life in an unexpected direction.
"What really struck me was Matisse’s journey from mastering all the academic skills to unlearning everything to create his own art," Kim says. "He really tried to dig into and explore the fundamental elements, like forms and colors. He was looking into something more essential to create something pure. I needed to follow that path."
In the online edition of MoMA’s ArtSpeaks program, we invite staff members, artists, and special guests to share personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, curator Eana Kim examines Matisse’s iconic expression of pleasure and joy.

In 1992 I picked up a newspaper at a coffee shop in Portland Oregon and saw an ad for the upcoming ‘Henri Matisse A Retrospective at MOMA. I went into debt to see that retrospective getting tickets for three days. I probably spent close to seven hours a day at that show. Matisse and Color has informed my own art since then! Beautiful take on the Master by the way! 👍
Wow, that is some dedication! What role does art play in your life today?
We can't have too many videos about Matisse - and I really enjoyed this personal story and perspective of the curator. Excellent work!
Wow, Eana Kim did an incredible job explaining in her video! Her insights into the ways that the work of Henri Matisse influenced her artistic journey were both thought-provoking and inspiring. I was particularly struck by her observations about the importance of color, composition, and balance in Matisse's work, and how these elements have influenced her own creative process. Overall, I thought her video was a wonderful tribute to the enduring legacy of Matisse's art, and a great reminder of the power of artistic inspiration. Kudos to Eana Kim for sharing her insights with us!
I am delighted to see Eana's exceptional curatorial expertise beautifully showcasing one of my all-time favorite artists. It's truly a remarkable and captivating experience! Kudos to Eana for curating such a brilliant exhibition that celebrates art in such a compelling way! 🎨👏
Thanks, MOMA! I will probably never get to visit in person because I’m poor. These UA-cam videos help to open the beautiful, interesting world of art to me. Much appreciated!
HENRI MATISSE’s works always inspire me.
This video is very useful for me.
It is remarkable how art can inspire individuals to take unexpected paths and explore fundamental elements in their own lives. Kim's appreciation of Matisse's journey and the essence of his work is a testament to the power of art to inspire, inform, and transform us.
Love the curator's explanation and connection to her own experience -- it certainly adds to my own understanding of Matisse and his work. Hope MoMA does more of these episodes
So lovely Matisse's brush strokes and colour. Thanks, Moma and Eana Kim.
You are exactly right. This is the meaning of life. Exponentially.
Saw Matisse paintings at the Hermitage, learned to draw without looking at hands and not lifting the pencil in art classes in the sixties, interesting. Good job.
It’s so easy for people to write off art that doesn’t “look” impressive, or classical, but great mastery and skill is all around us in the art world
Thank you for the detailed explanation of Henri Matisse's work; it was very helpful!
Now I’m gonna try painting with my left hand. I never considered that
Thanks for the detail and very clear explanation! about Matisse. ^^
It reminds me when I visited The Metropolitan in 2012. At that time there was a special exhibition of Matisse. Luckily I had a very personal experience of appreciating Matisse. Time reallly flies!^^ Looking forward to your next video clips!^^
Thank you for a very good explanation.
It took us a step further in understanding Matisse.
I hope to meet good works in the future.
Moma and Eana did Great job on this video! I was truly impressed by the quality of the content and the way it was presented.
