FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
In 1912 Glackens traveled to Paris on behalf of Albert Barnes in search of modern art. Among the leaders of the European avant-garde at that time was Henri Matisse, whose bold experimentations in color and decorative motifs helped inspire this work by Glackens. Seated frontally with hands folded in her lap, a woman turns her head, revealing the full plumage of her fashionable hat. Contrasting color pervades the composition, merging figure and decoration; the russet red hair, boots, and sofa complement her blue eyes, the blue wallpaper, and the accents on her white lace sleeves.
