Click on image to enlarge.In this collage Matisse's odalisque is observing her sisters in Costa Rica. Matisse rendered this beauty more as an idea of a person rather than a specific one. In Costa Rica the dark-eyed, dark-haired beauties are everywhere and are specific individuals: chatting incessantly on cellulars while struggling with skin-tight jeans, towering high heels and babes in arms. Matisse's luxe, calme et volupte is a contrary and welcome view.
