Dance (1910) by Henri Matisse echoes Cerealia Facula on Occator Crater on the Ceres ?


 
 
 
 a) Dance (1910) by Henri Matisse
  
 
 
 
b) Cerealia Facula on Occator Crater on the Ceres 
 
When looking at Cerealia Facula, I have often thought about giant interlinked figures who might be dancing around in circles, and when I came to take a good look at Dance by Henri Matisse, I suddenly thought that perhaps this might somehow connect with the Cerealia Facula, as if somehow Matiss had created a loose interpretation
 
 
 
 
c) Here we have Cerealia Facula next to Matisse's Dance reversed,
 
 
 
 
 
d) This would be the nearest interpretation if I looked for shapes and lines in this photo of the landform, . 
 
Of course I don't actually think that Matisse actually was looking at photographs of Occator crater, but it is as if he felt some of the enigma in some detail as if I magic.
