I love Matisse as most people know and found this quote interesting.
“If people knew what Matisse, supposedly the painter of happiness, had gone through, the anguish and tragedy he had to overcome to manage to capture that light which has never left him, if people knew all that, they would also realize that this happiness, this light, this dispassionate wisdom which seems to be mine, are sometimes well-deserved, given the severity of my trials.”

Our favourite….what we looked at in the living room in our villa in Carqueiranne for four months and what we look at in our living room in Palm Springs.
