"The Green Line"

A painting by Henri Mattise called "The Green Line". It is said to be Madame Mattise, his wife. The coloring that he has done with the painting is amazing, if you cannot tell. In this blog we are to look at his painting and explain why he has chosen to paint the way he has done. In the models face she is half green, half normal skin toned. She looks like she could be sick a lot but sometimes can feel better. Maybe he chose to present her this way because green can sometimes mean greed and she could be greedy. Paintings or pictures, or sculptures can be like music, another art, people can let their feelings out in music with lyrics and beats. Others can paint it out, take pictures, and create beautiful sculptures as a way to explain how their feelings.
