Henri #Matisse and #DiegoVoci were fascinated with the female body, as many master artists were. The #Odalisque in Red Pants Matisse nude, on left valued at $3 million had been stolen, FBI recovered. #Donna Seduta #nude on right was done by #Diego in 1971, oil on wood accented by strokes of Diego’s palette knife scarring the paint. Diego felt all female bodies are beautiful. (See #Euronews video: http://www.euronews.com/2014/07/09/venezuela-recovers-stolen-matisse-painting/ )
Coop #Cooprider, Diego Historian, wrote in “The Beauty of Diego”*:
“Every person has their own perception of beauty. In 1974 Diego described with
heavy Italian accent, the beauty he sees in the female:
“A man look at woman, this is cerebral feeling. When I like fat woman, I build Venus that way. I like skinny woman, I build Venus that way.”
Diego was smitten by the beauty of all females.”

BELIEVE IT OR NOT . . . SOME CRITICS CHOSE THE #FAKE“MATISSE”
ABOVE is NOT the real $3 million dollar Matisse! THIS IS:
Odalisque a la culotte rouge, Henri Matisse 1925
The next question to consider is how does one price beauty when not a Matisse? One zero less than $3 million dollars? Two zero’s less? Three zeros? Good art is priceless.
