MoMA Exclusive: A collaborative effort between luxury scarf maker Petrusse and Maison Matisse, this square-shaped Four Seasons Silk Scarf pays thoughtful tribute to the formidable artist who has work in MoMA’s collection. The designs, each dedicated to a season with emblematic shapes and colors, come from gouache paper cut-outs Matisse created in 1951 for Bungeishunjū, a Japanese literary magazine. Hand-rolled and hand-stitched in France, these printed silk-twill scarves are exceptional and elegant accessories. Tie one around your neck or gift it to someone special. The Henri Matisse Four Seasons Silk Scarf measures 25.6l x 25.6”w.

Why We Chose This
In 1951, near the end of this life, Henri Matisse was commissioned by the presigious Japanese literary magazine Bungeishunjū to create a series of cover designs. The resulting artworks, which represented the four seasons through monochromatic paper cut-outs, marked a unique cross-cultural artistic milestone for Matisse—and demonstrated the global appeal of his late-period aesthetic.

Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was a groundbreaking French artist known for his bold use of color and fluid, expressive line. Over his long career as a painter, sculptor, and printmaker, he explored how color and form could work together, from his vibrant Fauvist paintings to his innovative paper cut-outs. Influenced by textiles from his childhood in northern France and his travels, Matisse brought a sense of pattern, harmony, and joy to modern art—though his seemingly simple works were the result of careful, deliberate effort. Over 400 of his works are in MoMA's collection and have been featured in numerous exhibitions at the Museum.
