In "Black Sketch", It's almost as if Matisse is trying to hide his artistry by eliminating color or detail. But such mastery refuses to be hidden, no matter how hard he tries. With simple lines, Matisse manages to convey the fluidity of this woman's body and, with the tilt of her head and the position of her arm, he introduces us to the complexity of her character.
Framed in Bing Cherry and matted in umber, this image moves from stark to earthy, and it would make a stylish addition to any home.
