“ Vase de fleurs” — DAILE x Henri Matisse

Paint laid down like chords. Petals dissolve into strokes of rose, emerald, and ultramarine; the table becomes a small weather system of creams and ochres. In “Vase de fleurs” (1898–1900), Henri Matisse is on the verge of Fauvism testing how far color alone can carry feeling. The bouquet is still a bouquet, but what you remember is the music of paint: thick, confident, alive. DAILE presents this work as a reminder that joy is sometimes just a change of hue.
