In Vence, 1953, painter Henri Matisse converses with Carleton Smith, music editor for *Esquire*. Smith, on the left in a pinstriped double-breasted suit, smiles warmly at the older artist, who is distinguished by his full white beard and fedora. They are pictured in a sunlit courtyard before the Foyer Lacordaire, adjacent to the recently completed Chapel of the Rosary, which Matisse designed.
