Description:
|
In the summer of 1904, while visiting his artist friend Paul Signac at Saint-Tropez, a small fishing village in Provence, Matisse discovered the bright light of southern France, which contributed to a change to a much brighter palette. He also was exposed, through Signac and Henri-Edmond Cross, living in nearby Lavandou, to a pointillist technique of small color dots (points) in complementary colors, perfected in the 1880s by Georges Seurat (1859-1891). This led him to experiment briefly with Neo-Impressionism which immediately preceded the development of his style of Fauvism. (Source: Metropolitan Museum of Art [website]; http://www.metmuseum.org)
