Artwork location: Belgium

French artist Henri Matisse (1869-1954) first discovered painting at the age of twenty, when his mother brought him art supplies to occupy a period of convalescence from appendicitis. In his own words, the moment was like unveiling “a sort of paradise regained". Much to his father's dismay, he decided to abandon pursuits of a law degree and dedicate the next five decades of his life to capturing this paradise through visual craft. 

A major precursor of Fauvism (derived from the French , meaning wild beast), Matisse's such works first debuted at Parisian salons in 1905. His presumed “wildness" came from a dynamic use of clashing colors, inspired by the bright sunlight of the Southern coast. This bold palette was almost inherent to him as, growing up in Bohain which was famous for its luxury fabrics, the artist's visual language was already informed by the vivid and intricate textiles of Europe, Africa and the Middle East – an education which he would later continue through his many travels. 

In the decade to follow, Matisse strived to achieve the “art of balance, of purity and serenity". He experimented with brush strokes, pointillism and tonal harmonies, constantly manipulating the relationship between line and color. What appears to the viewer as effortless simplicity, was in fact a careful labor of constant self-improvement and discovery. It was then that MATISSE produced his more rigorous abstract paintings with flattened and controlled shapes. He proved that his style was far more traditional and bourgeois than initially assumed, bringing to mind a more conservative side of French painting. 

The 1920's marked the beginning of the so-called “Nice period". MATISSE focused on depicting decorative, sunlit interiors with a whimsical approach to nature, florals and even household pets (the goldfish bowl became a recurring motif). This variety of subjects and continuous exploration led also to an oeuvre of cut-outs, sculptures and drawings, all cementing the artist as a remarkable and visionary influence on modern art, celebrated to this day by major museums, collectors and art lovers of all backgrounds. 

Art Descriptions

Blue Nude II - Triptych

In the last decade of his life, Henri Matisse created a series of “Blue Nude" collages, which still remain some of his most recognized and beloved works. Cut-outs were his preferred technique at the time, while the solid blue (which represented distance and volume) was a remnant of the artist's bold Fauvist palette and his experimentations with line and color. 

The figure depicted on the triptych is said to have been inspired by Matisse's collection of African sculptures, as well as his travels to Tahiti. The poses of each of the “Blue Nudes" have been intricately constructed, sometimes over periods of multiple weeks, to achieve their voluminous and sculptural quality.
