SEEING “The Red Studio” By Annie Barrett BC ‘03
Henri Matisse, L’atelier rouge (The Red Studio), 1911

What is Matisse saying about space? Dimensions? Depth? Perception?
Oooh … Photoshop.

What does red mean? What does red not mean? “When I use a green it doesn’t mean grass … when I use a blue it doesn’t mean the sky” --Matisse What does red mean? What does red not mean?
