Vases of berries and foliage go well with a bowl of fresh fruit. Tailoring an arrangement to the food you intend to serve increases its impact.

Interior at Nice

Artist: Henri Matisse (French, 1869–1954)

Date: 1919-1920

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

Beginning in 1917, Henri Matisse spent most winters in Nice, on the Mediterranean coast. He often stayed at the Hôtel Mediterranée, a Rococo-style building he later fondly termed “faked, absurd, delicious!” Interior at Nice is perhaps the most ambitious of a series of images the painter created using the hotel as a backdrop. The pink-tiled floors and yellow, arabesque-patterned wall-paper are present in many of these works, as are the skirted dressing table, oval mirror, shuttered French window, and balcony. The balcony in fact was one of the artist’s favorite themes, allowing him to link internal and external space into a continuum structured by patterns and modulated light.

Additionally, Matisse often included a young woman somewhere in the scene. Here, his favorite model at the time, Antoinette Arnoux, plays an important role. Not only is she the subject of the painting on the wall, but the composition’s high viewpoint and plunging, wide-angled perspective draw all attention to her as she sits on the balcony, her back to the sea. Framed by shimmering curtains, she gazes directly at the viewer.

A radiator that once belonged to the floor above now acts as an ad hoc sculpture over the fireplace. Large glass vases are lined up on the mantel. The ladders are for hanging canvases on the walls.
