Description:
|
Painted in Vence, part of a series, Interieurs de Vence, created between 1946-1948. In January 1941 Matisse underwent an operation for a tumor, which left him an invalid. Unable to travel abroad, he constructed his own tropical environment in his palatial apartment in the Hôtel Régina, on the hill above Nice in the suburb of Cimiez, where he had lived since 1938. Just as his first period of prolonged convalescence in 1890 had brought him into painting, so the second led to his late style: to grand interior paintings from 1946 to 1948, to the decoration of the Chapelle du Rosaire at Vence in 1948-1951 and to a series of paper cut-outs which were his final works.
