Am I Really Seeing What I Think In This Matisse Painting?

[Kickin' Chicken]

Below is a masterpiece oil painting by famous French artist Henri Matisse that I recently saw at MOMA in NYC.

Is that a freaking 1 ball next to the goldfish bowl?

do I need a vacation from pool?

Don't hold back, tell me. :smile:

best,

I'm pretty sure that's the 1-ball.

The question is why is it over there?

I love pool too, but I see a naked breast there.

A proudly erect nipple, set upon a plethora of silky areola.

My question is what is that figure on the pamphlet located on the right-hand middle of the painting.

 

[Underclocked]

I think it's an orange to counter the stench from the fish. Jam, it's a candle and holder - and not the other. The whole painting looks like something done by a strange 6 year old.

It is obviously the 1 ball, placed upon the table to prepare for the lag for the first game. The big blue rectangle is actually the table in the background with tournament blue cloth on it. You can actually see a 2 piece cue that is still apart, laying on the blue cloth of the table ... obviously, a match is about to start.

Wow, this guy had it going on. A penis, a breast, and a cannabis plant. Now, I'm sure that "goldfish bowl" is actually some form of a bong.

I not seeing that, but maybe it's still too early in the day. I'll have to come back and look at it this afternoon. Let's say, around 4:20.

[Houstoer]

No doubt about it; looks aramith to me !!! lol

Henri, really had a talent for making goldfish come alive, didn't he? :smile:

"You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!".

That's a one ball. What else could it possibly be? Good eye.

It's a known fact that Henri couldn't draw his rock.....
...that's why he drew an object ball in this picture.

I actually see this too! :smile:

I didn't know they had the Tour Blue Simonis cloth back then!

I suspect it is an orange. Matisse's one balls and nine balls don't look like this. Check out his painting "Bowl of Oranges" for a whole lot of one-ball-nine-ball-looking things.
