CLEAN : Matisse Cut Outs brighten Londons Tate Modern

The video discusses how many artists develop a 'late style' towards the end of their lives, characterized by more gestural work. Matisse, however, chose to innovate by creating a new medium, producing larger, more ambitious, and joyful works in his final 15 years. These works, sourced globally, are mostly housed in museums, with some in private collections. The video also highlights the logistical challenges of organizing exhibitions and transporting large artworks, such as those from the Pompidou Center in Paris.
