Tom Wesselmann transformed the Matissian odalisque into a pop icon with the "Great American Nudes" series of the 1960s. Matisse's work will remain for the American a central reference in his search for visual efficiency and saturation of the image.
This crossed look, decried by some eminent matissians, is the subject of an exhibition in the form of a demonstration at the Matisse Museum in Nice. Through a selection of 43 works, you can discover the work of Tom Wesselman.
