Questions About Matisse Brooches

Who did Matisse influence?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024
Matisse influenced a large number of artists.

Matisse's influence can also be seen in the works of Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall, David Hockney, Richard Diebenkorn and Juan Gris. French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent also drew inspiration from Matisse's pieces. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Henri Matisse art.
Was Matisse an Impressionist?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
No, Matisse was not an Impressionist. Art historians typically classify his work as part of Post-Impressionism, a movement that turned away from the naturalism of Impressionism and focused even more on conveying emotions through painting. Along with fellow painter André Derain, Matisse was also the leading proponent of Fauvism, a movement whose name is derived from the French word for "wild beast." Marked by vibrant hues, Fauvist paintings like Matisse's famous 1906 composition Le Bonheur de vivre use wild, active brushstrokes and a palette unconstrained by nature, resulting in visuals like women with purple skin and trees with orange leaves. Often, these compositions unite pure color with the white of the exposed canvas to create a sense of transparency and light. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Henri Matisse art.
