This article focuses on the painter Henri Matisse's show at the Fifty-third Street Barr and Grill which spilled a scandalous secret about the greatest master of the twentieth century. Far sketchier than it was cracked up to be, the display did touch on most of the high spots of his career, and clearly showed his long industrious progression from thin to thinner painting, both tangibly and philosophically. The inescapable revelation is that the philistines of thirty-odd years ago were nearer than they knew to the truth.
