An 11x14 oil on another Brooklyn corner.I'm reading John Elderfield's catalog for the 1992 MOMA Matisse restrospective. He has fascinating ideas about what Matisse was after. I need to digest them better. It seems that Matisse wanted to paint a mental reality, and saw copying nature as a straightjacket. I like most of Matisse's paintings, and want to take what is useful and avoid dogma.
