Matisse in the Studio: Museum of Fine Arts Boston
























Picasso owned this painting of Marguerite (Matisse's daughter) and kept it in a bank vault.





















































This really resonated with me as it is something that I have said in my classes over the years. There are many different ways to use something in your work. You can use the same (collage) image repeatedly and depending on how you use it, get an entirely different page. Matisse repeatedly used the same objects in his artwork throughout his life. It is fascinating to see how these objects were used in different paintings over and over and over again. It was truly an eye opening experience. My only regret is not being able to hop on a plane and see it one more time before it closes.
