Being a muse is hard, often thankless work. To be an artistic collaborator is to bare your soul, to take risks, and to make sacrifices. “Nude on a Yellow Sofa'' imagines a creative partnership between two artists that is equitable, fruitful, and complex. The game uses the artmaking process to trace the trajectory of that partnership as it comes to an end, and then explores what comes after.
The game is played over the course of nine Periods, representing pivotal moments in the relationship between the characters. During each Period, the players discuss the evolution of the relationship between their characters while simultaneously creating works of art.
This game is inspired by Henri Matisse's Nude on a Yellow Sofa (1926).
