The Rebellious Curator

I love this classic painting by Henri Matisse. Couldn't find title documentation, but it was painted during the Fauvist period of the late 19c. So much going on..the diagonals, repeated shapes, dynamic colour juxtaposition, varied textures, the somewhat flattened pictoral space, use of lights and darks, saturated colour and strong outlines, simple elegance and eye contact of subject with a certain mystery..could keep going...
