Woman in a Striped Dress, Vuillard (Verbal Description)
Listen to the Story: 4 minutes
Description:
The introspective woman arranging flowers here perhaps represents the red-haired Misia, an accomplished pianist and wife of the patron of the series. Vuillard adopted the symbolist idea of synesthesia, whereby one sense can evoke another. The sumptuous visual qualities of Vuillard’s reds in this work may suggest the lush chords of music that Misia performed.
