Sculpture and Persian vase by Matisse

The painting was completed in 1908. Sculpture and Persian vase is an exuberantly sensual picture organizes around the dialogue between the curves of the woman’s body and those of the vase.

The spout of the vase, which echoes the sweeping curves of her raised arm and thigh, also penetrates her body as if it were a large phallus, and the flower, in a typically Matissian metaphor, are the offspring of the union of these highly animated inanimate objects.
