Henri Matisse (1869-1952) French

. . . Matisse declared, “I will make myself my own pool.” He asked Delectorskaya to ring the walls of his dining room at the Hôtel Régina in Nice with a white paper band just above the level of his head, breaking only at window and doors at opposite ends of the room. Matisse cut divers, swimmers, and sea creatures out of paper painted ultramarine blue and pinned them onto the white paper.

The result was Matisse’s first and only self-contained, site-specific cut-out. Matisse saw in paper’s pliability an ideal match for the fluidity of water, making the piece a perfect synthesis of subject and means. With its simplification of forms, dynamic use of positives and negatives, and expansion across the walls, The Swimming Pool was the culmination of Matisse’s cut-paper work up to that point.

"We spoke of the black chasuble: I told him that it is not a sad chasuble but a chasuble of the resurrection...Death is not the end of everything it is a door that opens."

Quote "A mythical fountain at Saint Paul de Vence, France. Isn’t this the ideal set for a first-kiss scene in a romance movie? (Preferably at midnight under the gleaming light of the stars)"

Grace Kelly visits the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence (France) where stained-glass windows and ceramics were designed by Matisse, c. 1955.

The chapel was dedicated to the Dominican Order and was built and decorated between 1947 and 1951 under a plan devised by artist Henri Matisse.

It houses a number of Matisse original works and was regarded by Matisse as his "masterpiece". While the simple white exterior has drawn mixed reviews from casual observers, some regard it as one of the great religious structures of the 20th century.
