Interior with an Etruscan Vase by Henri Matisse

Print on Cotton Canvas

In this interior, a woman is seated at a table with an open book and scattered colorful fruits. The artist painted green potted philodendrons, a red patterned curtain, and an orange antique vase to create an exuberantly colorful composition. Henri Matisse painted this interior in his studio-residence at the Hôtel Régina in Nice on the French Riviera about six months after the outbreak of WWII. As he explained in a letter to a friend, making art provided the equilibrium he needed to withstand the tragedy unfolding in the world beyond his studio.
