The Dance by Henri Mattisse is a great painting because to me, it represents freedom. It has a group of people dancing around, naked, in a circle. To me, that would be one of the most ultimate freedoms; where you don't have clothes holding you back, and you can just be with your friends doing whatever makes you happy. This painting also makes me think of summer time. I think of summer because when it's summer and you're a kid, you get to have fun with your friends. In this painting, you could take it as a bunch of friends just having fun with each other. Matisse also used brighter colors around the bodies to make it look like it's sunny out and make it look like it's summer time.
