• Influenced by his apprenticeship
as a glass painter, the teacher
Gustave Moreau (sound
familiar? ☺) and
medieval/religious art

42. Henri Matisse!
• 1869-1954
• Highly inspired by Cézanne
• Studied under Gustave Moreau
• Aimed to discover “the essential
character of things” and to
produce an art of
“balance, purity, and serenity”
• Liked to be radical, different, to
undermine the illusion of space;
though passionate, he was
deliberate and reserved
“Construction by colored surfaces. Search for
intensity of color, subject matter being
unimportant. Reaction against the diffusion of
local tone in light. Light...expressed by a
harmony of intensely colored surfaces.”
—Matisse
43. Luxe, Calme, et Volupté (1904)
Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et
beauté,
Luxe, calme et volupté.
There all is order and
beauty,
Luxury, peace, and
pleasure
The painting's title comes
from the poem L'Invitation
au voyage, from Charles
Baudelaire's volume Les
Fleurs du mal (The
Flowers of Evil), where
the poet invites his
beloved to travel to a
beautiful, imagined land
52. Why was this fauvism stuff
important???
• This movement helped to liberate the
use of color; less restrictive, Fauvism
opened up more expressive uses of
color and brushstrokes!
• An intermediate phase for some
artists, Fauvism was a way to
experiment with color
• Inspired many American artists who
visited Paris, like Paul Burlin
• Co-existed and influenced
expressionism
