The Back Series is a series of four bas-relief sculptures, by Henri Matisse. It's Matisse's largest and most monumental sculptures. The plaster originals are housed in the Musée Matisse in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, France.
They were modeled between 1909 and 1930. Back (I) appeared in the second PostImpressionist show in London, and the Armory Show in New York City.[1]
All four sculptures were unique plaster casts until 1950, when Back (I), (III), and (IV) were cast in bronze. Back (II) was rediscovered in 1955, a year after the artist’s death, then it was cast. The series have been cast in a bronze edition of twelve, included one for the artist's family. Nine complete sets are housed in nine major museums around the world:[2]
- Musée National d'Art Moderne (Paris)[3][4][5][6]
- Tate (London)[7][8][9][10]
- Kunsthaus Zürich (Zürich)
- Staatsgalerie Stuttgart (Stuttgart)
- Museum of Modern Art (New York)[11][12][13][14]
- Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (Washington D. C.)[15][16][17][18]
