Henri MATISSE
《Still Life with Plaster Torso》
1927 Oil on canvas
Matisse’s forte was figure paintings, but he also actively created still lifes. After World War I, he moved from Paris to Nice, in southern France, a move that led, in the 1920s, to begin working in rich colors. The composition, with the eye-catching red fruit carelessly arranged and the plaster torso in the center, reminds one of Cézanne’s work. Matisse, who, at twenty-nine, had purchased a painting by Cézanne, was greatly influenced by him. In this painting, he tries to answer the question of how to pull together the three-dimensional and flat, decorative motifs.
