“We are getting mixed up with the French tradition. In talking about the necessity to 'finish' a thing, we then said American painters 'finish' a thing that looks 'unfinished', and the French, they 'finish' it.

Matisse was obviously in a terrific emotion at the time and he was more 'unfinished' than 'finished.”
