In 1905, Matisse’s Femme au chapeau shocked Paris with its vibrant colors and energetic brushwork. Today, it remains a radical pivot point in art history.

SFMOMA’s exhibition, Matisse's Femme au chapeau: A Modern Scandal, traces the painting’s journey from it's scandalous debut to becoming a cornerstone of modern art.

To extend this exploration, Google Arts & Culture has collaborated with SFMOMA to create Matisse: The Wild Palette.

The Experience:
> Experience Matisse’s color and brushwork as a living environment, made with Veo, Google's advanced video-generation model.
> Interpretive audio narration created with Gemini text-to-speech provides context as you explore

By centering Matisse's visionary approach to painting, The Wild Palette celebrates expressive experimentation, honoring the artist’s radical spirit for a new age.
