Description:
|
|
Early in his career, Matisse discovered the Mediterranean light that pulsates in his first Fauve paintings. He became a regular visitor to the French Riviera, staying mainly in Nice after 1917, where this canvas was painted. As so often in Matisse’s work, the window itself is the main subject of the painting. A bold foreground is provided by the young model who is posing in a studio that the artist has decorated with richly patterned Oriental fabrics.
