It was at The Redfern Gallery in 1943, where Patrick Heron first saw Matisse's The Red Studio, which he described as "a life-changing experience ... the single most influential painting in my entire career".
The narrative of how this celebrated Matisse painting was for a time during WW2 hanging downstairs at The Redfern Gallery, has attained the status of legend.
For the second part of our Centenary celebrations we have invited our artists to respond to this iconic 20th Century masterpiece.
