Paul Matisse

Paul Matisse is an American sculptor and inventor, the grandson of Henri Matisse, celebrated for his inventive kinetic sculptures and large-scale public art installations. He is best known for creating the 'Kendall/MIT' subway station installation in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a beloved interactive public artwork where riders can play large aluminum chimes using levers on the platform. His practice blends engineering ingenuity with artistic sensibility, producing works that invite participatory engagement, and he has shown extensively in galleries and museums across the United States and Europe.
