빨간 새틴 바지를 입은 오달리스크 by Henri Matisse, 1925

Matisse never actually traveled to the exotic locales he painted; instead, he transformed his studio in Nice into a makeshift harem using costumes and rugs bought at local flea markets. This lithograph captures one of his favorite subjects—a reclining odalisque—looking bored and languid amidst a clutter of patterned fabrics, flowers, and fruit. Although the title mentions 'red satin trousers,' this black-and-white print relies on rich shading and intricate patterns to convey texture and depth. It's a perfect glimpse into his imaginary Orient, where models posed in elaborate dress while he captured their relaxed, unguarded moments.
