A regular spectator, a true lover of film clubs and popular cinemas, the cinephile Henri Matisse was passionate about the most original and distant works of his time, from Jean Renoir to Robert Flaherty, from René Clair to FW Murnau, from scientific films to Tarzan... If Matisse legitimately approached cinema as entertainment, his work received a decisive influence. In return, modern cinema showed him gratitude, particularly the French New Wave (Jacques Rivette, Eric Rohmer, Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Demy, Agnès Varda...). This innovative generation elected Henri Matisse as one of its "patrons", alongside Roberta Rossellini and Jean Renoir. Contemporary art has not been mistaken. Some contemporary artists have already revealed the deep links that unite the painter, passionate about graphic and decorative series, with the moving image: Jean-Michel Alberola, Pierre Buraglio, Henri Foucault, Madeleine Roger-Lacan, Raymond Hains, Jacques Villeglé, Ange Leccia and Alain Fleischer.
