Abstract

An essay is presented on looking at a same image in different ways and work of artist Henri Matisse. It states that differences in visual perception arises from the way images are created which in turn affects the way they are seen in different cultures. It highlights that Matisse's textiles which he named as Les Velours do not look like Kuba embroidered textiles.
