Henriette, robe jaune
1923
Meet Henriette, looking effortlessly chic in a sunny yellow dress that practically glows against the zebra-stripe green background. Matisse painted this in 1923, using thick, chunky brushstrokes that make her red lips and blue necklace pop with attitude. You can actually see the rough weave of the canvas beneath the paint, reminding us that this isn't a photograph—it's a vibrant, modernist mood board come to life.
