Matisse 1er juillet 52" "In homage to Mr. Monroe Wheeler with my thanks for my show at the Museum of Modern Art which he organized perfectly" Henri Matisse-the second-most exhibited artist at the Museum after Pablo Picasso-was the subject of MoMA's first monographic exhibition in 1931. The 1951-52 exhibition was the largest Matisse exhibition to be assembled in the United States to date and covered his pivotal work of the 1930s and the mature cut outs of the 1940s. As Barr writes in one of the letters laid-in "I did not realize that the 1930-40's would prove so rich and important. Frankly I tended to look down on Matisse's paintings of those years. They have changed my mind -- and the length of my text. I also greatly underestimated the interest and importance of the illustrated books of the 1940's." Monroe Wheeler 1899-1988 was made Director of Publications in 1939 and became the Museum's first Director of Exhibitions the following year positions which he held until 1967. Wheeler interviewed Matisse in March 1950 and their conversation comprises "Questionnaire II" which was used as one of the primary sources of the text of this volume p. 529. Alfred Barr 1902-1981 the first historian of Modern Art and the author of this volume was the first Director of MoMA from 1929-1943 when he worked as advisory director with his successor Rene d'Harnoncourt.
