![Throughout his career, Matisse’s travels are times of inspiration, the effects of which are often seen in subsequent work. In 1912, Matisse travels to Morocco with his wife. Having grown up in a family active in the textile industry, it is perhaps not surprising that Matisse is drawn to the colorful fabrics available in Moroccan markets—he acquires several different patterns and takes them back to France where he uses them in a wide range of works.

![In 1930 at age 60, Matisse boards a cargo and passenger steamer bound for Tahiti with an open-ended return ticket.

The vibrant colors and lush organic forms he sees during his three-month stay will have a lasting impact on his work moving forward.
