Visions Of Tangier

TANGIER, MOROCCO - DECEMBER 01: A view of the hotel room ' Chambre 35' that the French painter Henri Matisse inhabited during his visits to Tangier in 1912 and 1913. From this room he painted 'Window on Tangier' which is now amongst the collection of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow. The hotel in central Tangier, Villa de France, in disrepair for many years, has been bought and is in renovation but the room has been destroyed and along with it the heritage of this important cultural site. This is the last photograph made of Matisse's room before the demolition. (Photo by Derek Hudson/Getty Images)
