Henri Matisse | Romanian Blouse with Green Sleeves, 1937 | Cincinnati Art Museum
Henri Matisse's 'Romanian Blouse' is an exploration of composition, line, and form.
The movement of broad exuberant brushwork across the flat two-dimensional plane of the canvas emphasizes the energy of the composition and evokes the sitter's personality.
The Cincinnati Art Museum's painting is one of several paintings and drawings on a single theme - female models clothed in a boldly patterned Moroccan robes or embroidered Romanian blouses - that Matisse made in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
