I’m not familiar with the Matisse theme, but start by looking at loop.php and see if you can find the_content(); in there somewhere. If so, swap it out for the_excerpt(); and see if it shows up as expected.
If that’s the answer you need, check out the Template Hierarchy in the Codex to find other files that are outputting the full post where you want an excerpt.
