Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is delighted to present
Matisse–Drawing with Scissors
at the Municipal Gallery, dlr LexIcon.
The French painter, sculptor and designer, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the 20th century’s most influential artists. His vibrant works are celebrated for their extraordinary richness and luminosity of colour and his spectacular paper cut-outs were his final triumph.
Matisse: Drawing with Scissors, a Hayward Touring exhibition from the Southbank Centre London, features 35 lithographic reproduction prints of the famous cut-outs that Matisse produced in the last four years of his life, when confined to his bed. It includes many of his iconic images, such as The Snail and the Blue Nudes.
dlr Arts Office has commissioned artist Helen Barry to create workshops and a hub so that you can come and be inspired by Matisse and most of all have some fun! The exhibition opens to the public on Friday 5th of June and children's workshops begin on Saturday 6th June.
Exhibition continues until Saturday 4th July
For full details on the exhibition, workshops and hub please see Read More.

Azure at dlr Municipal Gallery
As part of the Municipal Gallery programme in dlr LexIcon, the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council/HSE Arts and Health Partnership is delighted to announce that we will be offering art appreciation tours of upcoming exhibitions for people affected by dementia, their families and carers.
Following very successful recent Azure pilot tours, which was delivered in co-operation with the Living Well with Dementia Project Stillorgan/Blackrock, we are now looking for people interested in attending these tours.
The Azure project is inspired by the ‘Meet me at MoMA’ programme making art accessible to people with dementia, which is based at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
If this is something that you feel would be of interest to you, please email Hannah Pinckheard at hpinckheard@dlrcoco.ie or phone (01) 236 2755 for further information.
