Le bateau von henri matisse biography photo of family

The picture is composed from pieces of paper cut out of sheets painted with gouache , and was created during the last years of Matisse's life. Le Bateau caused a minor stir when the Museum of Modern Art, New York , which housed it, hung the work upside-down for 47 days in until Genevieve Habert, a stockbroker, noticed the mistake and notified a guard.

As a result, the artwork was rehung properly. An assistant curator blamed the confusion on a label on the verso posted the wrong way, as well as screw holes which implied it had been hung upside down before.
