Not many know this, but in his later years, the famous French artist Henri Matisse secretly created a mysterious painting — The Lost Garden. Unlike his earlier bold, vibrant cut-out works, this piece depicts a world that doesn’t exist on Earth. Imagine soft, rolling hills in vibrant colors, floating stars, and enormous fantastical flowers, as if the entire natural world had been re-woven into a dream. During his time bedridden, Matisse would often close his eyes and dream of this otherworldly place. So, he traded in his paintbrush for scissors, hoping to cut out the images from his dreams and make them eternal.
The Fantastical Nature of Corollas
In his notes, Matisse mentioned a name: Corolla Star. In his dreams, this planet was free from the pull of gravity, where even the mountains floated like silks in the air. Gigantic plants would slowly unfold in the sky, and flowers would glow like stars. At night, vines twinkled across the sand dunes, aligning with the constellations in the sky. The soft undulations, dots, spirals, and splashes of color were all part of Matisse’s dream world — a vision of nature unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
A Secret Study by Scientists
But this dream wasn’t just an artistic spark. Intriguingly, in the early 1950s, a psychologist from NASA secretly studied Matisse’s sketches. They discovered that the spirals, star patterns, and cosmic swirls Matisse had drawn in his dreams bore a striking resemblance to the actual structures of our galaxy! Some speculate that this could mean the human subconscious has some mysterious connection with cosmic memory, and perhaps, dreams are a secret gateway to the depths of the universe itself.
The Mysterious Disappearance of the Lost Artwork
After Matisse’s passing, The Lost Garden vanished without a trace. There are rumors that the original painting was secretly hidden in an ancient monastery outside Nice, France. It’s said that when the night sky is bathed in starlight, the colors of the painting gently shift and shimmer, as if the dream itself is quietly breathing. The painting remains, like an unreachable magical portal, opening only to those who truly listen to the hidden whispers of nature.
The Continuation of a Fantastical Nature
Today, you can still find traces of The Lost Garden in many modern illustrations. Those abstract landscapes with flowing hills, floating flowers, and soft, magical colors — they’re continuing Matisse’s unfinished exploration of fantastical nature. From mid-century modern designs to contemporary art wallpapers, this aesthetic keeps evolving, yet always quietly responding to that lost, dazzling dream world.
Colors: The Free-Walking Stars
So, next time you find yourself gazing at those colorful, flowing hills, floating flowers, and the deep night sky, don’t rush away. Maybe, just for a moment, you’ll feel yourself gently walking through that soft sea of stars, strolling alongside Matisse in that secret, magical garden of nature. After all, in a world where colors and dreams intertwine, every imaginative soul is a free-walking star.
