I know it well, like a childhood friend.<br /><br />The use of patterning in both, color pallette and yes, even paint application are very similar. But isn't it interesting how differently they use black linework? In Porter, it is only employed on secondary, background objects, whereas Matisse uses it to define and draw attention to his figure. Maybe this is why the Matisse figure is very much IN her interior space, whereas Porter's boy almost melts into the scene.<br /><br />Love them both, and the commentary. Excellent post!Nick Heywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205328234745575843noreply@blogger.com
