When political protest is read as epidemic madness, religious ecstasy as nervous disease, and angular dance moves as dark and uncouth, the 'disorder' being described is choreomania. The Joy of Life The Joy of Life epitomizes Fauvism, as Matisse combines the sensuality of the figures with fluid lines and an expressive use of vibrant, non-natural color. And yet, when first shown, his art did not receive the accolades it does today. In the painting we can observe that arabesques enhance the bodies, and that they are themselves emphasized, from time to time, by rings or halos of color.

  • Henri Matisse's the Italian Woman, by Pierre
    Guggenheim Museum Archives Reel-to-Reel collection Hilla Rebay Lecture: Henri Matisse’s The Italian Woman, by Pierre Schneider, 1982 PART 1 THOMAS M. MESSER Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the third lecture within the Hilla Rebay Series. As you know, it is dedicated to a particular work of art, and so I must remind you that last spring, the Museum of Modern Art here in New York, and the Guggenheim, engaged in something that I think may be called, without exaggeration, a historic exchange of masterpieces. We agreed to complete MoMA’s Kandinsky seasons, because the Campbell panels that I ultimately perceived as seasons, had, [00:01:00] until that time, been divided between the Museum of Modern Art and ourselves. We gave them, in other words, fall and winter, to complete the foursome. In exchange, we received, from the Museum of Modern Art, two very important paintings: a major Picasso Still Life of the early 1930s, and the first Matisse ever to enter our collection, entitled The Italian Woman. The public occasion has passed. We have, for the purpose, reinstalled the entire Thannhauser wing, and I'm sure that you have had occasion to see how the Matisse and the new Picasso have been included [00:02:00] in our collection. It seemed appropriate to accompany this public gesture with a scholarly event, and we have therefore, decided this year, to devote the Hilla Rebay Lecture to The Italian Woman. Naturally, we had to find an appropriate speaker for the event and it did not take us too long to come upon Pierre Schneider, who resides in Paris and who has agreed to make his very considerable Matisse expertise available for this occasion.

[email protected] ANDRÉ DERAIN 1880 – 1954 FROM FAUVISM TO CLASSICISM January 24 – February 21, 2020 WHEN THE FAUVES... SOME MEMORIES BY ANDRÉ DERAIN At the end of July 1895, carrying a drawing prize and the first prize for natural science, I left Chaptal College with no regrets, leaving behind the reputation of a bad student, lazy and disorderly. Having been a brilliant pupil of the Fathers of the Holy Cross, I had never got used to lay education. The teachers, the caretakers, the students all left me with memories which remained more bitter than the worst moments of my military service. The son of Villiers de l’Isle-Adam was in my class. His mother, a very modest and retiring lady in black, waited for him at the end of the day. I had another friend in that sinister place, Linaret. We were the favourites of M. Milhaud, the drawing master, who considered each of us as good as the other. We used to mark our classmates’s drawings and stayed behind a few minutes in the drawing class to put away the casts and the easels. This brought us together in a stronger friendship than students normally enjoy at that sort of school. I left Chaptal and went into an establishment which, by hasty and rarely effective methods, prepared students for the great technical colleges. It was an odd class there, a lot of colonials and architects.

Rather, it interprets both versions of the painting as a response and contrast to Matisse’s Le Bonheur de vivre, which is proposed as the main intertext of Les Demoiselles. Moreover, an excursus into Lacanian theory allows the author not only to explain the supposed inconsistencies of Les Demoiselles , but also to propose that in its final version it is a meta-painting which analyses the way representation comes into being. Keywords: Picasso, gaze, look, authenticity, biographical criticism Nothing seems more like a whorehouse to me than a museum. — Michel Leiris1 In 1906 Picasso is only beginning to make his name in Paris and his painting is far less advanced or “modern” than Matisse’s.

  • Matisse's La Danse
    zlom2/08 12.11.2008 9:30 Stránka 173 Holger Otten MATISSE’S LA DANSE: ON THE SEMANTICS OF THE SURFACE IN MODERN PAINTING HOLGER OTTEN Since in Modernism inner meaning is doubted or believed lost, the question arises of what an interpretation ignoring the established dialectics of outside and inside and limiting itself to an exclusive surface would look like. Henri Matisse’s ‘decorations’ raise questions about the differences between figure and background, appearance and essence, inside and outside. Instead of reference to depth under the surface, it is density and expansion, concentration and contraction, which determine the occurrence of meaning on the surface. Matisse presents himself as a flâneur of the surface, as if he wanted to show us, in the words of Gilles Deleuze, that ‘[i]t is by following the border, by skirting the surface, that one passes from bodies to the corporeal’. Henri Matisse La Danse. Zur Semantik der Oberfläche in der Malerei der Moderne Wie in der Moderne ein innerer Sinn verloren geglaubt oder fragwürdig geworden ist, so drängt sich die Frage auf, welcher Art eine Sinngebung ist, wenn auf die tradierte Dialektik von außen und innen verzichtet wird und wenn der Raum sich in einer exklusiven Ober- fläche erschöpfen soll. Henri Matisses „Dekorationen“ stellen augenscheinlich die Unter- scheidung von Figur und Grund, Schein und Wesen, außen und innen zur Disposition. Nicht der Verweis auf ein Inneres unter der Oberfläche, nicht Tiefe, sondern Dichte und Ausdehnung, Konzentration und Kontraktion bestimmen das Bedeutungsgeschehen

  • Fauvism and Matisse's Bonheur De Vivre
    Matisse's Bonheur de vivre Henri Matisse, Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life), oil on canvas, 1905-06 (Barnes Foundation) The Joy of Life In 1906, Henri Matisse finished what is often considered his greatest Fauve painting, the Bonheur de vivre, or the “Joy of Life." It is a large-scale painting (nearly 6 feet in height, 8 feet in width), depicting an Arcadian landscape filled with brilliantly colored forest, meadow, sea, and sky and populated by nude figures both at rest and in motion. As with the earlier Fauve canvases, color is responsive only to emotional expression and the formal needs of the canvas, not the realities of nature. The references are many, but in form and date, Bonheur de Vivre is closest to Cézanne’s last great image of bathers. Source URL: http://smarthistory.khanacademy.org/fauvism-matisse.html Saylor URL: http://www.saylor.org/arth111/#9.1 Attributed to: SmartHistory www.saylor.org Page 1 of 5 Paul Cézanne, The Large Bathers, oil on canvas, 1906 (Philadelphia Museum of Art) Matisse and his sources Like Cézanne, Matisse constructs the landscape so that it functions as a stage. In both works trees are planted at the sides and in the far distance, and their upper boughs are spread apart like curtains, highlighting the figures lounging beneath. And like Cézanne, Matisse unifies the figures and the landscape. Cézanne does this by stiffening and tilting his trunk-like figures. In Matisse's work, the serpentine arabesques that define the contours of the women are heavily emphasized, and then reiterated in the curvilinear lines of the trees.

First and foremost, I want to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Heidi Näsström Evans for her continual commitment to this project and her knowledgeable guidance from its conception to completion. Julia Burke, Textile Conservator at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, was instrumental to gaining not only access to the costumes for observation and photography, but her energetic devotion and expertise in the subject of textiles within the realm of fine arts served as an immeasurable inspiration.

  • Comparison of Matisse and Picasso's Treatment of the Human Body
    Depiction of the body Matisse vs. Karie Edwards Eric Jones Picasso Chenla Ou Pablo Picasso 1881-1973 Henri Matisse 1869-1954 Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso were two of the twentieth century's greatest rivals and yet no two artists inspired each other more.-- www.matisse-picasso.org “Expression, for me, does not reside in passions glowing in a human face or manifested by violent movement. The entire arrangement of my picture is expressive; the place occupied by the figures, the empty spaces around them, the proportions, everything has its share.” – Henri Matisse “The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present. I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future. I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should. Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress; it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it.” -- Picasso “We must talk to each other as much as we can. When one of us dies, there will be some things the other will never be able to talk of with anyone else.” --Henri Matisse to Pablo Picasso Matisse Time Line 1869: Born in Cateau-Cambrésis, France

  • Bonheur De Vivre
    BONHEUR DE VIVRE 18 March – 27 May 2016 Henri Matisse, Jeune fille à la mauresque, robe verte, 1921, oil on canvas, 66 x 55 cm. Courtesy Bernard Jacobson Gallery Bernard Jacobson Gallery is delighted to announce Bonheur de Vivre, an exhibition of 16 works by some of the greatest masters of the twentieth century, titled after the seminal Henri Matisse painting Le Bonheur de Vivre (1905-06). Bonheur de Vivre is the result of long-held desire by Bernard Jacobson to present work by some of the great artists who have particularly inspired and sustained his own love of modern art throughout a long and distinguished career as a gallerist. The exhibition is an unalloyed celebration of beauty, joy, colour and light; beginning with Henri Matisse, it traces the revolution in art that sprang from Le Bonheur de Vivre and the inspiration it proved to artists including Joan Miró, Alexander Calder, Sam Francis and Robert Motherwell, selected important works of which are included in Bonheur de Vivre. Matisse is represented with three remarkable, light-filled paintings of single female sitters all originating from his long working sojourn in the South of France; Jeune fille à la mauresque, robe verte (1921), Nu au peignoir (1933) and Jeune femme assise en robe grise (1942). In the apparent simplicity of these three paintings Matisse fully demonstrates his virtuosity, both by the fluidity of line which captures the youth and supple grace of his sitters and by the brilliance of pictorial light, so redolent of the South of France, created by the juxtaposition of one intense hue against another.

Haas Diebenkorn saw this portrait and many more paintings by Matisse at Sarah Stein’s Palo Alto home in 1943. Stein, a native San Franciscan, had moved to Paris with her husband, Michael, and their young son in 1904. They began to acquire Matisse’s work the following year and quickly became his most passionate early supporters, as well as close personal friends. When they returned from France to the Bay Area in 1935—the year this museum was founded—they brought their substantial collection of modern art with them.

In part, the palettes he explored in works such as Urbana #4 may have been reactions against the gray light of his new home. But they were also clearly inspired by his growing experience of Matisse’s paintings and his developing sense of how to apply what he saw in them to his own canvases.

In fact his Blue and Rose Periods, when he mostly painted outcasts in a nostalgic style influenced by El Greco’s mannerism, can be squarely placed within the 19th century tradition of symbo- list painting. But with his Iberian experiments of the same year, he is struggling with his sentimental side in order to “modernize” himself.2 Although Iberian sculptures are archaic, not modern, they offer a way: they are “primitive,” that is, they provide something different than the academically acknowledged tradition.
