DESCRIPTION:May 16 - Sep 7\, 2026\nAt the 1905 Salon d’Automne\, in Paris
 \, where Matisse showed Femme au chapeau—a portrait of his wife Amélie\
 , a professional hatmaker\, rendered in patches of unmixed color—the cri
 tic Louis Vauxcelles called the room where it hung a cage of les Fauves (w
 ild beasts). The insult became the name of the movement: Fauvism. The pain
 ting was acquired on the Salon’s last day by Gertrude Stein and her brot
 her\, Leo. Thirty years later\, under new ownership\, Femme au chapeau tra
 veled to San Francisco\, where it received its first U.S. showing\, in 193
 6\, at what is now the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In 1991\, it en
 tered the museum’s collection as a bequest. Under the terms of that bequ
 est the portrait cannot travel\, which makes SFMOMA the only place it can 
 ever be seen\, and also the only possible venue for this exhibition\, whic
 h re-assembles works from the original Gallery VII of the 1905 Salon and p
 laces them alongside responses to Matisse’s painting by everyone from Jo
 an Brown to David Hockney.
