Combing the Hair (‘La Coiffure’) by Edgar Degas (about 1896). Photograph: The National Gallery, London
 Who knew the National Gallery got its late sumptuous, red-saturated Degas La Coiffure, one of the most glorious paintings in its collection, from Matisse? He bought it in 1918 and sold it to the gallery, through his dealer son Pierre, in 1936. How wonderful to imagine Matisse, whose own painting The Red Studio goes similarly bonkers for red, owning this throbbing, hallucinatory masterpiece. (The Guardian)
Henry Matisse 
The Red Studio, 1911
"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.
