[H2][B]The Fauves: A Brief Overview[/B][/H2]
The term 'Fauves,' meaning wild beasts, was coined by critics to describe the style of Matisse and his colleagues, including André Derain, Maurice de Vlaminck, and Albert Marquet. The Fauves were known for their saturated colors, bold strokes, unblended hues, and lack of subtle shading, which created a flat picture plane that often had little to do with mimicking surface appearances.

This painting was acquired directly from Matisse in Paris by the Russian collector Ivan Morozov. After the Russian Revolution, the Morozov collection was confiscated and eventually donated to the public along with the Sergei Shchukin collection, at the [A href='https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/Art_EN?Open&Query=pushkin+museum+of+fine+arts,pushkin,museum,fine,arts&']Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts[/A] in Moscow and the Hermitage in St Petersburg.

Matisse's palette and technique evolved over time. Initially trained as a lawyer, he developed an interest in art only at age twenty-one. In 1891, he moved to Paris to study art and followed the traditional nineteenth-century academic path.
