Compared with the Cubist-period work of his near contemporary Picasso - one picture after another that can be like a cheese grater for the eyes - even the most recondite Matisse is pretty beguiling.

What is that swamp thing? It's a mishmash of big-box structures covered in aqua, blue and white tiles, with a little mustard yellow and brown thrown in to finish off the 1970s-nightmare look. Part of the complex, still under construction, is shaped like a ski jump, because what says industrial metropolitan America quite like a Nordic sport...
