I went to Wikipedia and found this:
Her "Watusi (Hard Edge)" is a blatant and obvious rotated copy of The Snail (L'escargot), by Henri Matisse.LOL. Check it out. It looks like a FReeper was there.

I would say that Ms Thomas has a lot of splainin to do. It's obvious: that particular motif was common among Afro-Americans in the years after slavery. Working long hours on plantations without oil colors and unconstrained by uptight European conventions like "prospective" or "geometry" or the "human form" or "nature" or bourgeois notions like "technique" or "beauty", they produced flat dull uninspired paintings in great numbers, but they were suppressed by the white establishment until an enterprising French artist whose creativity was exhausted adopted them and signed his name to them.

The very same picture just different colors. The art is clearly a ripoff! Here it is in color.

When did Thomas do hers? In otherwords who copied who???
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Snail
The Snail or The Snail (L’escargot), by Henri Matisse, Nice-Cimiez, Hotel Regina, [summer 1952-early] 1953, Gouache on paper, cut and pasted, on white paper, 9’4 3/4” x 9’ 5” (287 x 288 cm) collection Tate Gallery, London.[1] It consists of a number of colored shapes, arranged in a spiral pattern, as suggested by the title. During the early to mid-1940s Matisse was in poor health. Eventually by 1950 he stopped painting in favor of his paper cutouts. The Snail, is a major example of Matisse’s final body of works known as the cutouts.[2]

Her other paintings have a very unique look that is far different than this one.

Rename the forgery from “Watusi” to “TOTUS Reveled” and the painting then achieves a certain reality.

I have been in an “art” gallery that has displayed exactly that. Had a different title IIRC but I dare say you should sue!
