Henri Matisse The Red Studio, Issy-les-Moulineaux, fall 1911 Oil on canvas MoMA, Floor 5, 506 The artworks appear in color and in detail, while the room's architecture & furnishings are indicated only by negative gaps in the red surface. The composition's central axis is a grandfather clock without hands—it is as if, in the oasis of the artist's studio, time were suspended. visited on january 6, 4:19-4:23pm HNY! i stare at this painting wishing that i could walk into it every time i see it.
