Composition

I chose this image  Lemons on a Pewter Plate, Henri Matisse, 1926 as having the most unique and and being this most interesting. I love his use of texture, it leaves the whole composition out of focus. I also like that the background splits and you can tell that more is going on besides the initial subject. I love the way the light falls on the plate and the amount of detail in the highlights and shadows and the reflection. I also really like the use of color and like how you can tell he mixed all his colors and didn't use any right from the tube.
