Violet Palette
-- To Matisse’s painting, "Still Life with Sleeping Woman" (1940)
Several yellow and crimson fruits
A lively palette drenched by clusters of water drops
A roundly curved palette knife, the palette knife
Sparsely falling light drops, light drops
A woman smiling genially, genially in the dream amid leaves
Squeezing colors onto the palette, adjusting hues
Adjusting hues, the woman is entwined, undisturbed
Note on the Muse:
Matisse often painted women reading or taking naps. This woman is taking a catnap, leaving aside delicious-looking fruits on a palette-shaped table. Matisse never painted a person eating fruits or food. There is no painter who paint people eating, I suppose.
