BMA Seeks Matisse Diebenkorn Exhibition Ambassadors

The BMA is seeking enthusiastic Volunteers for the Museum’s upcoming special exhibition, Matisse Diebenkorn (October 23, 2016 – January 29, 2017). Volunteers will assist with welcoming and orienting Visitors to the Museum and to help with on-site promotion of the exhibition.

About the Exhibition

Matisse/Diebenkorn is the first major exhibition to show the profound influence of French Modern artist Henri Matisse on the work of American artist Richard Diebenkorn. Breathtaking juxtapositions of more than 90 paintings and drawings from museums and private collections throughout the U.S. and Europe reveal the enduring power of Diebenkorn’s firsthand experiences of the French artist’s work and present a stunning new view of two artists who never met. The exhibition will travel to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art following its presentation in Baltimore. The BMA is the only East Coast venue for this highly anticipated exhibition.

This ticketed exhibition will be accompanied by an audio tour that explores the evolution of Diebenkorn’s art and highlights visual comparisons between his and Matisse’s works.
