Inspired by Picasso's portrait of Gertrude Stein and Matisse's portrait of his wife, Amelie Matisse, Woman with Hat from the Steins Show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I wrote these two poems:
Portrait of Gertrude Stein
African mask face
Solid bold pose
Smolder stair
Watcher weeps
Weeps weeps
Over this
Boundless human
Picasso captured
Pensive woman
Amelie Matisse
Stripped clown face
Carmen Miranda
Before the time
Jazz beat
Across canvas
Voyeur view
Matisse's mind
Looker laughs
Laughs laughs
Over this
Pout hat
Sanguine gaze
A bientot.
