The artist that I CHOOSE is :
Henri Matisse
Art movement : modernism, fauvism, post-impressionism.
Matisse was the artist who fullfilled the national tradition of French painting in the modern movement and entered with the analytical, cerebral quality in modern art. He express through colour transmitted its message with a strong direct impact. A balance was achieved between colour, expressing light, and form, presenting objects as pure forms in a two-dimensional manner without any illusionism in his pictures. His works executed there are the very essence of Fauvism in their vivid colours and flat patterning.
In his drawings, it was characterized by the use of pure colours and sophisticated interplay (harmonies and contrasts). The two-dimensionality of the picture surface enriched by decorative patterns taken from wallpapers, Oriental carpets, and fabrics; and the musicality of outlines and arabesques, the human figures being treated in the same manner as the decorative elements.
