Gallery label text, 2006:
"Where I got the color red?to be sure, I just don’t know," Matisse once remarked. "I find that all these things . . . only become what they are to me when I see them together with the color red." This painting features a small retrospective of Matisse’s recent painting, sculpture, and ceramics, displayed in his studio. The artworks appear in color and in detail, while the room’s architecture and furnishings are indicated only by negative gaps in the red surface. The composition’s central axis is a grandfather clock without hands?it is as if, in the oasis of the artist’s studio, time were suspended.
Publication excerpt from The Museum of Modern Art , MoMA Highlights, New York: The Museum of Modern Art, revised 2004, originally published 1999, p. 77:
"Modern art," said Matisse, "spreads joy around it by its color, which calms us." In this radiant painting he saturates a room?his own studio?with red. Art and decorative objects are painted solidly, but furniture and architecture are linear diagrams, silhouetted by "gaps" in the red surface. These gaps reveal earlier layers of yellow and blue paint beneath the red; Matisse changed the colors until they felt right to him. (The studio was actually white.)
The studio is an important place for any artist, and this one Matisse had built for himself, encouraged by new patronage in 1909. He shows in it a carefully arranged exhibition of his own works. Angled lines suggest depth, and the blue-green light of the window intensifies the sense of interior space, but the expanse of red flattens the image. Matisse heightens this effect by, for example, omitting the vertical line of the corner of the room.
The entire composition is clustered around the enigmatic axis of the grandfather clock, a flat rectangle whose face has no hands. Time is suspended in this magical space. On the foreground table, an open box of crayons, perhaps a symbolic stand-in for the artist, invites us into the room. But the studio itself, defined by ethereal lines and subtle spatial discontinuities, remains Matisse’s private universe.
A FINE VIEW FROM THE SEA OF THE OLD CASTLE HARBOR HOTEL in OLD BERMUDA

The above photo ID’d by flickr member "basic country bumpkin"
Looks like an elevator to seaside from the high-perched Hotel — with a curving promenade connecting it all. Pretty high-class digs ! Niagara Falls also had a cliff-side elevator to take tourists down to the river below the falls…way back in the 19th Century.
The above Hotel did not open until November 1st, 1932. It is not know if the above photo was shot during the last phase of construction, or after it had opened.
THE REST OF THE STORY :
The above Hotel was closed in 1999, and will reopen with a new look and a new name on APRIL 1st, 2009……just a few days away from the posting of the above photo. The timing is purely a coincidence !
The new resurrection will be called TUCKER’S POINT HOTEL AND SPA, and the "face lift" is far deeper than just a new coat of paint. Although part of the original framework was retained, what you see above was basically demolished….
"……….It is in the most exclusive and private residential area of Bermuda known as Tucker’s Town. Facilities include a new golf course already in operation, beach and tennis club, retail and commercial center. Major investors in the new resort are Argus Insurance Company and an million loan from the Bank of Bermuda (now part of HSBC), its largest-ever loan to date. It has different residential clusters which include 44 private club type accommodations for the exceedingly affluent and 8 waterfront custom home sites. There is a main hotel with 100 units (from April 1, 2009) a fractional ownership facility (better than a time share because, unlike a time share it offers a chunk of the freehold, considered better than just getting a time share, and a minimum couple of 36 days for annual vacation, more if you wish, as an option priced accordingly) called The Residence Club (there are several). It offers 2, 3 and 4 bedroom villas. The Residence Club has 10 owners per villa, each with a minimum of 36 days annual use; and 200 Memberships. Plus, there is a full-service condominium complex called the Harbour Court.
The whole complex is a resurrection, reconstruction and reconstitution of the Castle Harbour Hotel, under a new name after the latter’s demolition. The Castle Harbour Hotel was a landmark first planned by the British Furness Withy shipping organization in 1923 and first opened on November 1, 1932. Furness Withy built both the original Castle Harbour Hotel and the Mid Ocean Club. After World War 2 Furness Withy of the UK lost interest. The property and extensive land were bought by Bermuda-based Bermuda Properties Ltd, headed and owned by Juan Trippe. He was the founder of the original Pan American World Airways. It was a direct result of his interest in Bermuda after Pan American flew between Bermuda and New York from 1937. Today, Bermuda Properties Limited, which owned the hotel, all the land in the area and the Mid Ocean Club and its Mid Ocean Golf Course, is headed by Ed Trippe, son of Juan Trippe, who lives in the USA but comes frequently to Bermuda where he has a home. He is the president of the Tucker’s Point Club.
The new hotel was built around the original frame of the Castle Harbour Hotel, which opened in 1931 and closed in 1999. The steel was manufactured by Dorman Long, a firm from Teeside in the northeast of England, which also supplied the steel for the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia in the 1920s. The new hotel will use the frame for four of the original nine floors at Castle Harbour and there will be an extra floor added. The frame was first erected in England before being dismantled and shipped to Bermuda. It is being used again because of its exceptional quality. It has saved quite a few million dollars worth of costs in construction and in time………." www.bermuda-online.org/accomm2.htm
