Almost A Portrait

Portrait Of A Comfortable Man

New mixed medium artwork…….. Title  :  Portrait Of A Comfortable Man

This image reminds me of a famous quote by Henri Matisse

“What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity, devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter, an art which could be for every mental worker, for the businessman as well as the man of letters, for example, a soothing, calming influence on the mind, something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.”

What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter – a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.
