Exercise: 4
Matisse is the best painter ever at putting the viewer
at the scene. He's the most realistic of all modern
artists, if you admit the feel of the breeze as
necessary to a landscape and the smell of oranges
as essential to a still life. "The Casbah Gate" depicts
the well-known gateway Bab el Aassa, which pierces
the southern wall of the city near the sultan's palace.
With scrubby coats of ivory, aqua, blue, and rose
delicately fenced by the liveliest gray outline in art
history, Matisse gets the essence of a Tangier
afternoon, including the subtle presence of the
bowaab, the sentry who sits and surveys those who
pass through the gate. From Peter Plagens, "Bright
Lights." Newsweek (26 March 1990): 50.
