Colors so good they couldn't possibly just stay on a canvas 🪨🎨🫟
After seeing Henri Matisse's "Femme au chapeau" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art—a rare sight as the work no longer travels—Brooklyn-based artist Rachel Harrison made sure the bold hues of "Femme au chapeau" didn't stay on a flat surface.
Although already underway with "Hoarders," Harrison decided to translate the Matisse portrait's iconic colors into her sculpture, working from a postcard of the painting.
