Henri Matisse (1869-1954) - Modèle refleté dans le miroir, cartella d'arte

‘1930s drawings are considered by the master to be his greatest masterpieces.
These drawings depict women lying on backgrounds decorated with fabrics adorned with arabesques and are miracles of pure lines that best enclose the sphere of feminine sensuality.
In the reflections and mirrors, Matisse seems to capture the soul of his models in their fine, virtuous traits’.
C. Zervos
