Summary

Panayiotis Kalorkoti says about this work:

"Matisse

plays with technique and surface, with La Dansecutting abruptly to a dot-patterned wall while still-life elements loom large or hover insubstantially, both denying and emphasising the two-dimensionality of the picture-plane. The figure of the artist is taken from a photograph which actually shows him drawing, but here I have withdrawn him from the sphere of action to incorporate him into my scrapbook assemblage of flat patterns and deceptive spaces, so he merely holds his cat."
