Purple Robe and Anemones |
by Henri Matisse
There are always flowers
for those
who want to
see them.
Ivy in Flower |
It has bothered me
all my life that
I do not paint
like
everybody
else.
takes courage.
He who loves,
he is free
and nothing holds him back.

In NYC? Don't miss
Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917
July 18–October 11, 2010

About the exhibit, from Art Institute of Chicago. Don't miss the videos of Matisse drawing and painting. The painting video is particularly interesting because it ramps down into slow motion. How cool is that -to watch his creative approach and connection between eye, mind, brush, and finally canvas.
