The expert spoke about the main motives of the work of world-famous artists whose works are presented in the new Altmans Gallery branch - Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall. It was devoted to the influence that the “father of Fauvism” had on prominent contemporaries, about how the bright Matisse's works, created by him in the late period, influenced the artistic structure and plastic expressiveness of the works of his followers.
