in this luscious setting—as in "luxe, calme et volupté" by henri matisse—metzinger makes use all the colors in the spectrum of visible light. unlike matisse's work, metzinger's brushstrokes are large, forming a mosaic-like lattice of squares or cubes of similar size and shape throughout, juxtaposed in a wide variety of angles relative to one another, creating an overall rhythm that would otherwise not be present.
