Description: This cannot be shipped with the glass Henri Matisse SIZE 11X10 inches without the frame DESCRIPTION Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954): attribuited: odalisuqe, watercolor on paper, signed, unframed, well conserved. "I make odalisques to do nudity. But how to do nudity without being artificial? And then I do them because I know they exist. When I was in Morocco I saw them'. With these words, uttered in 1929 during a conversation with the Greek publisher Emmanuel Tériade, Henri Matisse explained his motivation for depicting women in elegant and sophisticated oriental-style settings, sensually lying on carpets or sofas and surrounded by soft cushions. These are women with a bursting physicality, whose bodies express a feeling of waiting and silence. Their lazy, indolent poses are taken from the same subjects painted by Delacroix, Ingres and Renoir. Matisse painted dozens of Odalisques, set in ever-changing and richly ornamented surroundings. Almost always posing for him was Henriette Darricarrère, a model who lived in Nice with her family. CONDITION Watercolor Very good condition.
