Question

3. Artists create unity when all parts of an artwork seem to go together to create a whole image, rather than a

series of separate elements. Artworks with unity are pleasing to the eye. How did Henri Matisse create unity in
The Red Room? Why do you think unity is important in this painting?

Answer 1

The artistic composition is given unity by the integration of a similar pattern throughout the entire work. The organic shapes created by a series of lines on the tablecloth extend to the wall design.
