Henri Matisse
What are the themes of Henri Matisse’s paintings?
im doing a french project and cant find the themes to his paintings. i know the style was fauvism but what did most of them contain?
Aside from his later abstract work, Matisse mostly painted common subject matter, such as human faces and figures, and interiors and still-life. Instead of using skin tones and realistic colors, that were true to life, he used vivid uncommon colors to suggest feelings and notions of what the face was like.
Henri Matisse’s exploration of color and his desire to simplify art, to make it just color and shape can be argued to be where Modern art began. He said: “Color was not given to us in order that we should imitate nature, but so that we can express our own emotions.”
