In this piece Matisse seems to be attempting to do the same thing we are doing in class. It seems as though he is not only focusing on the model, but also the space around her. By doing this he is able to experiment and create the correct proportions. By looking at this painting, it makes me feel better about my own work. The reason is because this piece does not have that "perfect" artist feel to it. Rather, it has places where the proportions do not seem to be perfect, and other places with minor distortion. For example, the models hip seems to jut out more than it actually would in reality.
