The Matisse bouquet finds its founding elements in shapes and colours.

The warm colours are contrasted and in perfect balance, the rounded and graphic shape of the zinnia dialogues with the elongated ears of celosia and crocosmia, creating a very lively atmosphere, like in a tropical flower garden.

The sanded green presence of artemisia absinthium, which seems to have come out of a Matisse painting, reinforces the graphic pattern.

Inspired by The Parakeet and the Mermaid, 1952.
