Hello, my name is Faith Butterfield and today I am at the Norton Simon Museum Pasadena. I just looked at the trees and the bronze statues that look like Greccon Roman heroes and I'm here to do my museum report on Henry Matisse's art work based on the exhibit that are doing until July 17th and let's go in and this is where we get our admission. Hello there. I'm sorry. So what you're going to say is let me pause this. Let me say that you're not allowed to shoot behind security cameras, walls, exhibits, and other signs that are strictly forbidden and I had to go do this at the admissions office and it's strictly forbidden. And I can also shoot art exhibits especially the Matisse Odesque Odesque exhibit and unfortunately I cannot take photos with flash. Yes, because what happened to be it ruined the art work. The Odesque is a reclining nude or a harem concubine that is popular subject in European art in 1830s to 1830s and erotic image of a woman in geographically vague orient, evoked a life of luxury, indolence, far removed from industrial society in 21st century approaches to representing race and gender. Indeed a picture of an Odesque is newsly a manner of invention, rather than cultural dogmentation. The harem environment was constructed in the artist of the art using a model to dress costume in a leg of exotic props and the artist did not disguise the fact to seem a stage by drawing attention to the studio setting or approaching imagery from by a famous precedence. The exhibition focus on the revival of oriental oriental to his imagery at the hands of the French artist on Rema Tees. Matisse claimed that he made Odesque as he exudes to paint the nude because he had the scene harem's first hands on his trip to Morocco yet his colorful and daring compositions reveal the imagery with existing decorative environments that threatened to subject the female subject altogether. The quest that carried to her marioness relationships between the thick ear and ground was one that Matisse pursued throughout his career but the Odesque found particularly a complex complementing theme which wished to further these ambitions. Medest or Delesque's concussion disease of the painter's distinctive interpretation of the harem theme with works of the arts in painting, drawing and photography, waging in the date from the early 19th to the mid-20th century. The diverse aesthetic approaches on the view reveal that the artist received Odesque highly adaptable subject, one that offered opportunities to embellish and invent a way to embodying energy of their maker's own creative process. This is a painting called nude on a sofa from 1923 by Henry Matisse which is about a live model who is lighting on who is lying on a big couch who is naked with a armpit on it and also in the background it depicts pink and red roses and outside the window it depicts the trees and the forest with earthly colors but inside the house it has Turkish child colors of blue and white. It was painted in 1923 during the 20th century which is post-mort post-impressionist painting by Henry Matisse which I'm going to do which I'm going to select instead of the harem I'm going to do nude on a sofa. Yes this is Henry Matisse. Did you click a picture? No I'm filming it. We've got entitled and homage to the Madame de la Ville de Tenele which was entitled drawing done in 1936 and dated by 1947 which was done in ink and paper and it's depicting a woman in an exotic costume which which is like a hair which reminds me of a harem and it also depicts flowers and trees. This is a rough this is a rough sketch but this is a rough sketch like I do it funnels in my comic books and my animation. Now I just did my Henry Matisse exhibit for a quick short period of time I looked at his paintings I looked at his artwork and I chose to do nude on a sofa nude on a couch which was done in 1923 by Henry Matisse who was a post-impressionist artist after the impressionist era was Collande Monet and Vincent Van Gogh and unfortunately guys I have to do it was a short period of time but I wish I can go to the museum but I'll do that next time when I have it when I summer months come and also I took at the funnels of his untitled drawing which I like to do just like in my did an Amy Fagans drawing class which I did today and I will talk to you later and I'll see you soon goodbye. Alright go. So, Grace what did you sing? Did you know anything about Matisse before you came here? I learned about Henry Matisse when I was in elementary school which they taught us about art not just math and English. I've never I've never I've I'm going to learn about Henry Matisse when I when I when I get to the 20th century for the last semester when I learned about him. Alright I think this is best if you do so. I've learned about Henry Matisse today because he was the best artist of the 20th century of he's a French artist since Claude Monet and Jacques Louise Davide and I really I like the part where I did nude on on a I recently did the nude on nude on a sofa which I just chose to do for my museum paper rather than the harem girls because they were not they were not my subject and I don't and I like Western culture and Chinese culture better and I'll see and I'll and well. Well I have a question for you, Faye. Yes. So what did you do today? I did. So today what? Today I went to the Norton Simon Museum to do my to do my research from a museum report. I chose to do nude on a sofa which was painted on painted. What are you about this report? What is it for? My museum report is for my art art art 100b class which is an art survey class where we had to do Renaissance contemporary and I have to choose an art piece on this period and I will and also I would and I'll. What I've learned in this class is that I want to be I want to discover my art lineage through the Renaissance and Jacques Louise Davide which was part of my art lineage that Marguestimaux taught me before he died. Now what is your art lineage? What does that mean? My art lineage is sort of like my family tree of artists which are my our our more like my ancestors from your art education where what art education right and your art education started with started with Jacques Louise Davide. I'm great with Marguestimaux and he said the lineage that his style and style of teaching was his was Jacques Louise Davide which is part of our quest for his art lineage which I carry on as legacy today and I will see you soon right now bye bye
