Major Matisse retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Apart from some drawings and engravings (notably his 1931 illustrations of Mallarme's poetry for the publisher Skira), Matisse devoted most of his time to the Barnes commission, developing the technique of cutting shapes from gouache-coated paper. The first version of the Barnes Danse was followed, after a trip to Italy (Turin, Milan, Padua), by a start on a second version. Matisse went to Merion in 1933 to install the final version.
