"You sure know Henri Matisse.
And you sure know Louisiana.
But it is not that Louisiana I think of.
In Denmark there is an art museum called Louisiana.
Louisiana Museum of Modern Art."

Thus begins Asbjorn Lonvig's "Matisse and Louisiana...", a long and interesting article in absolutearts.com, about this gorgeous Danish museum and the Matisse exhibition being presented there right now... do read it and also enjoy his photos.

I really enjoyed this for it also brought back memories of our visit there some years ago, as I wrote a year ago. The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art website has an interesting page about the exhibition Matisse: A Second Life. (The link for this doesn't seem to work, so you will have to find that page). Also have a look at Art Daily's Photogallery of Matisse's work at Louisiana. I sure hope I can be as creative in my old age.

Thanks to bellebyrd for the link to the article.
