In the online edition of MoMA’s ArtSpeaks program, we invite staff members, artists, and special guests to share personal impressions of an artwork in the galleries. Here, Eana Kim, the Marcia and Jan Vilcek Fellow in the Department of Paintings and Sculpture examines Henri Matisse’s iconic expression of pleasure and joy.

Explore our collection work by work as we release a new video each month. Watch the videos and then come visit the works in person at MoMA!

You can also hear more about this work with MoMA audio.
