Red Turtle -- To the woman in “Red Interior, Still Life on Blue Table” painted by Matisse (1947) Head upward both arms forward Delicate plant is stuck in the vase Full moon floating indoors Woman in the moon smiles gently Around the red wall and the blue table Turtle’s back is being cracked, crackling, crackling Note on the Muse: Matisse was soft but chic using intense colors, and called Fauvism..
