Description:
|
Although Matisse had been an art student since 1892, and had modest success in the Salon of 1896, he was encouraged by Cezanne and Rodin to do more study with human models. In order to have regular access to models, Matisse worked in a succession of public and private art schools. This brought him in contact with the younger artists who, with him, would start the movement Fauvism (after 1904). In reviving the study of the nude human figure, Matisse was in part reacting against what he perceived as Impressionism’s neglect of this traditional subject. Painted in Paris.
