Work in Progress, by @schulmanArt, Miriam Schulman

| Matisse, Still Live with Magnolia, 1941 |
Matisse: In Search of True Painting presents Matisse’s painting process by showcasing artworks in pairs or trios that are part of the same work in progress. In addition there are black white large photographs that document his progress. For Matisse, the process of creation was not simply a means to an end but a dimension of his art that was as important as the finished canvas.

| Matisse show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art |
He exhibited his painting surrounded by the black and white photographs and the museum curators in this show recreate that.
In that spirit, I decide I would film my transformation of a handbag into a hand painted bag that uses elements from Matisse’s paintings. I purposefully did not reproduce any one painting.
Want to collect this bag? It’s art you can use every day! you can find it in my etsy shop!
- SOLD
The Matisse exhibit is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art until March 17, 2013. Don’t miss it!
(waiting for youtube to upload!)
Thanks so much for including my image in your collection!Matisse's bold use of color, and strong sense of design has always be an inspiration to me.
Thank you Miriam for including me in your Etsy treasury. I have always been fascinated with the bold beautiful colors of Matisse. I like to think of my clothing as art. I have a love of art history, fabric and sewing and with my Etsy shop I try to blend all those loves. Thanks again.
Thank you Miriam for including me in this rich tribute.
