About The Event

Join us for an intimate evening with award-winning author and journalist Sophie Haydock as she discusses her latest novel, Madame Matisse. This captivating work delves into the lives of three remarkable women - Amélie Matisse, Lydia Delectorskaya, and Marguerite Matisse - who were integral to the life and art of the renowned French painter Henri Matisse.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1930s France, Madame Matisse brings to light the untold stories of these women, exploring themes of love, ambition, sacrifice, and the complexities of muse-artist relationships. Haydock's meticulous research and evocative storytelling offer a fresh perspective on the art world, highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of women in shaping artistic legacies.

During the event, Haydock will share insights into her writing process, the historical context of her characters, and the inspiration behind bringing these women's narratives to the forefront.
