Interior with an Etruscan Vase (Intérieur au vase étrusque)
Interior with an Etruscan Vase (Intérieur au vase étrusque), Henri Matisse (French, 1869 - 1954) 1940
--Henri Matisse Henri Matisse used glowing color and decorative shapes to infuse this image of his apartment in Nice with a feeling of quiet, meditative relaxation. Dedicated to Fauvist principles, Matisse continued to liberate color from nature by using explosive hues and lively, imaginative design. In Interior with an Etruscan Vase, a woman wearing a brightly colored Moroccan costume sits behind a table, surrounded by luxurious plants and works of art. The neutral black table anchors the brilliant colors of the orange vase and red curtain.
