Today I was fortunate to join the Saxton's River Art Guild, on a bus trip to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA. One of the special exhibitions on view was Matisse in the Studio, which runs from April 9 - July 9, 2017. Henri Matisse was a french artist who lived from 1869-1954.
This painting by Matisse is titled, Marguerite with Black Velvet Ribbon, painted in 1916. This was done with oil paints on wood. The subject is Matisse' daughter who was twenty-three at the time she was painted.
With simple brush strokes and lines, Matisse suggests deeper emotion and substance than many other artists of his time.
