Casey Klahn said...: I love everything by Matisse, Carole - glad you liked this, too.

I don't speak a word, Kathy. But I try to understand. You are welcome!; May 20, 2010 at 1:08 PM

NJ ART 73 said...: Casey,
Thank you for posting this-I was amazed that I could actually see Matisse create a drawing. I had no idea that any type of footage existed. It is like looking in on a lost world. Matisse passed away the year I was born in 1954- I was only a few months old.; May 20, 2010 at 11:25 PM
Casey Klahn said...: NJA 73 - I wonder if Matisse is too far in the past, or still present and vital?

You ought to read the Spurling 2 volume bio on Matisse just published in the past few years.; May 21, 2010 at 7:33 AM
Celeste Bergin said...: I saw a Matisse today--it was just like that drawing. He drew the lips with one unbroken line. So great! Thanks for sharing the video; May 22, 2010 at 10:47 PM
Dan Kent said...: I don't know why I am still amazed at technology as simple as sound recordings, but I never even thought of the possibility of hearing Matisse's voice so this was a treat! (Although, like you, I don't understand a word of it! My son, who took French couldn't understand him either - lol.); May 25, 2010 at 5:27 PM
Casey Klahn said...: Celeste, I understand his drawings were uncanny in depicting a likeness with the fewest lines. Lucky you to see one - probably at the Portland museum?

That is funny, Dan. Thanks for reading/listening.; May 25, 2010 at 6:08 PM
