Discover the woman whose groundbreaking collection shaped MoMA and modern art forever. Art collector and MoMA co-founder Lillie P. Bliss was a fierce supporter of groundbreaking artists such as Cézanne and Picasso at a time when modern art was often met with suspicion or ridicule. In 1929, Bliss, together with Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and Mary Quinn Sullivan, founded The Museum of Modern Art. When she died just two years later, at 66, Bliss left a large part of her collection to MoMA—a visionary act that fundamentally changed the Museum. Learn more about Bliss on #MoMAMagazine → mo.ma/4fJrnsp On view now!

See Matisse’s “cut-outs” come to life! In the final years of his life, artist #HenriMatisse turned to scissors and painted paper to create something entirely new. He cut shapes from vibrant sheets and arranged them into lively compositions, transforming his studio walls into immersive worlds of color. Ranging from organic shapes to near-abstract patterns, the cut-outs capture his unique vision—joyful, bold, and endlessly imaginative. We’ve put together a special celebration of Matisse’s vibrant paper works just in time for the holiday season. From colorful book illustrations to a glowing stained-glass window on the theme of Christmas Eve, see it all on view now → https://mo.ma/3CAC8Pk — Henri Matisse (French, 1869–1954).

How do we find hope in the most difficult times? When artist Montien Boonma was searching for a cure for his wife’s cancer, he turned to traditional Thai medicine and the healing power of smell. “House of Hope” is an immersive space filled with thousands of bead strands hanging above a pyramid of painted wooden steps. The surrounding wall painting suggests clouds or incense smoke from Buddhist temples. Go behind the scenes to find out how scent can play a role in how we experience art in a new series on Art and the Senses. Watch the full episode → https://mo.ma/3XZbjf3

It’s time! “The Clock,” Christian Marclay’s 24-hour cinematic marvel, is on view now at MoMA. This montage of over 1,000 film and TV clips depicts clocks and other references to time. From missed alarms to midnight escapades, each clip is synchronized to the exact minute in real time. Moments of the day unfold minute by minute as iconic moments from film history are remixed into a functioning timepiece. “The Clock” speaks to cinema’s powerful ability to reflect real life and also provide an escape from it. Marclay reframes our collective memory of movies as an uncanny confrontation with ourselves. Learn more and plan your visit → mo.ma/theclock — Christian Marclay. ”The Clock.” 2010.

What makes art scary? In our latest Drawn to MoMA, cartoonist and animator Dash Shaw creates a story about how we relate to frightening artworks. Shaw says he was after more than a seasonally creepy comic: “It’s more about the joy of conversation around art. I like making analogues because they make sensibilities clear.” Read more on #MoMAMagazine → mo.ma/3Uj6JHl UNIQLO is MoMA’s proud partner of #ArtforAll — Dash Shaw. 2024.
