Lists like this are always fun. Like Charlie, I'm a sucker for this Matisse. It's my favorite of all his works. I think. Or maybe I'm just nostalgic for it (I studied it in college but never have seen it in person, and it rarely shows up anywhere). It's The Conversation—a scene in which absolutely no conversation is taking place. It's the anti-conversation, achingly so. This is a divorce in the making. The painting lives at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.
