Open Window at Collioure 1910

Henri Matisse created this painting of an open window in Collioure with oil on canvas. Looking at it I imagine him standing right here, trying to capture the feeling of being inside and outside at once. The brushstrokes feel so spontaneous, like he's just letting the colors dance across the canvas. The red floor buzzes with energy. The open window frames this gorgeous view of the landscape outside. I can imagine Matisse feeling restless inside, but also drawn to the simple comforts of his room. What's outside and what's inside? It's not only a physical question but also an emotional one. Like, where do we really live and where do we want to be?
