The Harmony in Red (The Red Room)
Look at these paintings and choose one: Night
Café by Van Gogh (7th: fig. #6-43, p. 128) or Harmony in Red (The Red
Room) by Matisse (7th: fig. #5-29, p. 95). Study the way in which the
artist uses color in the image you’ve chosen. In an essay, about 400
words, explain your reaction to the color and how it affects your
response to the subject matter. To help you formulate a response, think
about these things: Would you like to spend time in the scene? Do you
think it would be a pleasant or unpleasant place to be? Do you think the
artist wants the viewer to like the scene and characters or not?
Support your opinions with discussion about the painting itself and what
you see in it.
