About the Artwork
Henri Matisse began work on La Perruche et la sirène (The Parakeet and the Mermaid) in the spring of 1952. It is a colorful piece of large-scale artwork measuring a towering 11 feet tall and 25 feet long. Meant to evoke a lively tropical garden, in the original piece, you can find the parakeet on the far left and the figure of the mermaid on the top right.
