writing on the work:
In 1987, I saw this black and white print of Matisse's work, casual, inventive, peaceful, uninhibited.
I was enchanted. I was hoping to reach a world as carefree as his. All I could do was copying and copying his work.
In 2009, I saw this work again in color in an auction catalogue, with a very refinded frame, a famous and sophisticated owner, in a handsome house, with beautiful decorations and delicate flowers. Everything was so graceful and classic. Fame, politics, public recognition, and money has unified everything under one roof.
