サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「Henri Matisse's beautiful 'Danseuse assise dans un fauteuil' is a quintessential example of the artist's sensuous odalisques ❤️💐🩰 The elegant model is Italian countess Carla Avogadro, dressed in a blue tutu, reclining on an extravagant Venetian Rococo armchair, an antique find that Matisse bought on a whim and, in his own words, became “obsessed” with. These paintings from the early 1940s were the artist’s final canvases before Matisse turned his hand, and scissors, to his famous cut-outs, and harmoniously bring together all the strands of his genre paintings – the staccato still life of the vase counterbalancing the soft lines of the figure, all within a familiar interior world marked by its chequerboard floor. The work will be unveiled in our London galleries later this month, its first public exhibition since 1949. It will then make its auction debut in our 'Rembrandt to Richter' Evening Sale on 28 July - link in bio for the catalogue. #RembrandtToRichter #SothebysImpMod #HenriMatisse」7月14日 17時16分
