Description:
Through his work on the Barnes murals, Matisse came increasingly to use color in easel paintings such as Lady in Blue (1937; Philadelphia, PA, Mus. A.) to advertise and emphasize shape in a simplified palette with an ever greater heraldic intensity, allowing line to etch out a more autonomous existence.
