Henri Matisse (i) - Oil On Canvas (i) - 99 x 119 cm - 1904 - (Musée d'Orsay (Paris, France)) (i) - Fauvism (i)
Henri Matisse 's Luxe, Calme et Volupté , painted in 1904, is a seminal work that marks the beginning of the Fauvist movement. This oil on canvas painting measures 99 x 119 cm and is currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France.
The Emergence of Fauvism
Fauvism was a short-lived but influential art movement that emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over realistic representation. The style began around 1904 and continued beyond 1910, with the movement itself lasting only a few years, from 1905 to 1908. Fauvism can be classified as an extreme development of Van Gogh's Post-Impressionism fused with the pointillism of Seurat and other Neo-Impressionist painters.
Artists and Style
Besides Matisse and André Derain, other artists included Robert Deborne, Albert Marquet, Charles Camoin, Bela Czobel, Louis Valtat, Jean Puy, Maurice de Vlaminck, Henri Manguin, Raoul Dufy, Othon Friesz, Georges Rouault, Jean Metzinger, Kees van Dongen, Émilie Charmy, and Georges Braque.
Origins
Gustave Moreau was the movement's inspirational teacher; a controversial professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and a Symbolist painter, he taught Matisse, Marquet, Manguin, Rouault, and Camoin during the 1890s. Many of the Fauve characteristics first cohered in Matisse's painting, Luxe, Calme et Volupté .
