Central Nervous System

-- To the woman in Matisse's painting "Figure with a Bouquet" (1939)

 

An open book is off from the center

A brusque woman is being pushed aside

The flowers and vase with red backdrop take the upper position

 

A teacup and eggs laid on a slanted chest

Momentarily they’re not moving an inch

 

Note on the Muse:

In addition to color choices, Matisse's paintings deal with the problem of where certain forms should be located in a limited space of canvas. Putting the woman aside, the positioning of flower and vase takes a central role.
