This grand exhibition introduces the other Matisse, as Mr. Shell, the curator, aptly writes in his catalog essay, not for the first time, but in a way that should make its importance stick. The show releases Matisse the sculptor from the domain of Matisse the painter, and it frees Matisse the early Modernist from the shadow of Cubism. While Picasso and Braque scaled the heights of Cubism roped together like mountaineers, as Braque put it, Matisse began by tying together painting and sculpture themselves, and forging on alone. He forced painting and sculpture into a collaboration unlike anything in the history of Western modern art.
