The Matisse One

Henri Matisse’s The Dessert: Harmony in Red (The Red Room) played with the planes and depth in a room painted a vermillion red. I was way outside my comfort zone here, I didn’t really like the outcome- the red is not quite vermillion. BUT! I’m so glad that I’ve kept it included in the collection- the positive response it received on the first public showing made me realize that art is subjective, including my own.
