How would Matisse have interpreted THE CIRCUS?

If Matisse were to re-interpret Seurat’s The Circus, how would he have done it?

Matisse was considered one of the greatest colourist of the 20th century. He was fond of using bright and expressive colours. His paintings during his Fauvist years are characterized by dramatically simplified areas of pure color, flat shape, and strong pattern. Towards the last few years of his life, even as he was too weak to paint, he created papercuts, carving and scissoring out coloured paper into shapes, and collaging them into sometimes vast pictures.

Maybe he would have done it as above… 🙂
