Un modelo para Matisse (2005)

Learn more about Henri Matisse, one of the artists featured in the Bouquets exhibition, in this documentary. Monique Bourgeois was a 21-year-old nursing student and amateur artist living in Nice when, in 1941, she answered an ad placed by Matisse seeking "a young and pretty night nurse." From this humble beginning, a beautiful friendship developed between one of the 20th-century's greatest artists and the woman who inspired him to create what Matisse proclaimed the masterpiece of his life's work: The Chapel of the Rosary in the French village of Vence.
