Her oval face is bisected with a slash of green and her coiffure, purpled and top-knotted, juts against a frame of three jostling colors. Her right side repeats the vividness of the intrusive green; on her left, the mauve and orange echo the colors of her dress. This is Matisse's version of the dress, his creative essay in harmony.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe green stripe down the center of Amélie Matisse's face acts as an artificial shadow line and divides the face in the conventional portraiture style, with a light and a dark side, Matisse divides the face chromatically, with a cool and warm side. The natural light is translated directly into colors and the highly visible brush strokes add to the sense of artistic drama.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch of its strength resides in its simple geometric structure and in the way in which the colours are combined. Spatial modulation is pared back to a minimum. Effects of light and shadow, which would have added depth to the image, have been translated into planes of colour instead.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ecredit: https:\/\/www.henrimatisse.org\/green-stripe.jsp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-meta js-meta-details\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-meta-subtitle\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"product-attrs\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"product-attr-label\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"product-attr-value\"\u003e19.75ʺW × 1.25ʺD × 29.75ʺH\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"product-attrs\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"product-attr-label\"\u003ePeriod\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"product-attr-value\"\u003eMid 19th Century\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"product-attrs\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"product-attr-label\"\u003eItem Type\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"product-attr-value\"\u003eVintage, Antique or Pre-owned\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"product-attrs\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"product-attr-label\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"product-attr-value\"\u003eGood Condition, Unknown, Some Imperfections\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"product-attrs\"\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"product-attr-label\"\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"product-attr-value\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"js-swap-sibling\"\u003eSome small scratches on frame and rough around the edges on the back of the portrait.
