This is one of the most entertaining exhibitions around. The title of the show means “Let’s meet up at your place”. Henri Matisse died in 1954, but the exhibition starts with 50 letters to Matisse from this literature-loving artist. The forms she uses, combining words and geometry in a wide variety of colours, raise questions about the boundaries between painting, illustration and published reproduction.
