Abstract


Henri Matisse was a French artist, initiator, leader, and major representative of the fauvism, also known as a sculptor and printmaker. Henri Matisse is commonly recognized, along with Pablo Picasso (25October1881～8April1973) and Marcel Duchamp (28July1887～2October1968), as the leading figure in modern art of the classical tradition of20th century; and an important artist who helped revolutionary development of the plastic arts in the opening decades of the20th century.Fauvism is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a short-lived and loose group of early20th century modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While Fauvism as a style began around1900and continued beyond1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years,1904-1908, and had three exhibitions. The fauvists were brilliant artist, they all came with different styles of fondness, and continuously clung to exploring their uniqueness after this movement.Fauvism was primarily led by Henri Matisse and Andre Derain, other artists included Albert Marquet, Maurice de Vlaminck, Kees van Dongen, Raoul Dufy, Othon Friesz and Georges Braque etc. The paintings of the Fauves were characterized by seemingly wild brush work and strident colors, while their subject matter had a high degree of simplification and abstraction.Fauvism can be classified as an extreme development of color theory from Impressionism and the bold brush of Post-Impressionism like Vincent van Gogh (30March1853～29July1890), Paul Gauguin (7June1848～8May1903), and Paul Cezanne (19January1839～22October1906), and fused with the pointillism of George Seurat (2December1859～29March1891), as well as other Neo-Impressionist painters, in particular Paul Signac (11November1863～15August1935). Fauvism threw aside traditional methods of three-dimensional space and natural imitation, rejecting the soft tone colors of the Impressionists and the dainty stroke applications of the Neo-Impressionists, they were in favor of applying bold, untouched colors to their canvases in broad, rough strokes that on many occasions would distort their subject.
