This article presents the author's views on the exhibitions held at Paris. In the year 1956, the following were on view: Italian primitives, assembled from French provincial museums; a gala selection of impressionist masterpieces from the temporarily closed Jeu de Paume Museum; a large and fine Pissarro exhibition; an international sculpture presentation; and memorial retrospectives honoring artists Henri Matisse and Fernand Leger. The Matisse and Leger retrospectives are of outstanding importance in evaluating art. And one fascinating aspect of the two exhibitions is the wide differences between them. Matisse's art stemmed from the closing phases of the last century, chiefly post-impressionism.
