Ekphrasis, 1

And googling for 'images' using words or phrases brings up 'interesting connections'

Henri Matisse

The yellow / orange frame separates red from green.
The trees against green match the apples against red, in point (!) of circularity.

The google here was ut picura poesis, which raises the ekphrasis question.

Gaston Bachelard is useful here, his late 'space' volume.
