Purple Robe and Anemones
Purple Robe and Anemones(French:Robe violette et Anémones) is a 1937 painting byHenri Matisse[1]featuring a woman wearing a purple robe sitting next to a vase ofanemones.
The painting is among those purchased by art collector and socialiteEtta Cone[2]and is part of the Cone Collection atBaltimore Museum of Art.[3]The painting has been called "one of the best-loved pieces" of that collection, a collection estimated to be worth almost a billion dollars in 2002.[4]
The painting has been described as showing "Henri Matisse's comprehensive use of space: not much is left empty, creating a rich viewing experience.".[5]It has also been said that it is "a great example of Matisse's use of flat areas of bold color and pattern", as the placement of overlapping objects creates a sense of space with simple lines, suggestive of volume.[4]
