{\textquoteright}Matisse: Drawing Life{\textquoteright} is the most comprehensive exhibition of Henri Matisse{\textquoteright}s prints and drawings ever mounted. Presented in partnership with the Biblioth{\`e}que nationale de France, the exhibition includes more than 300 drawings, prints and illustrated books by one of the twentieth century{\textquoteright}s greatest artists. Exploring the themes and subjects to which Matisse repeatedly turned throughout his long career, the exhibition provides insights into the artist{\textquoteright}s daily drawing practice.

Curated exclusively for GOMA by C{\'e}line Chicha-Castex, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Prints, Biblioth{\`e}que nationale de France, and independent Paris-based curator Emilie Ovaere-Corthay, the exhibition brings together works from international, national and private collections to explore the extraordinary range and depth of Matisse{\textquoteright}s engagement with the graphic mark. The exhibition has been designed by French artist Christophe Cuzin, who responds to Matisse{\textquoteright}s palette.

To complement the exhibition, GOMA{\textquoteright}s Long Gallery features The Drawing Room, an interactive large-scale drawing studio for visitors, inspired by Matisse and his working environments.
