Henri Matisse And His Women Before The Window, Sophie Goodwin Apr 2012

Henri Matisse And His Women Before The Window, Sophie Goodwin

Senior Theses and Projects

Following World War I, Henri Matisse moved to the South of France to escape the chaotic terrain of post-war Paris. It was in the idyllic Nice where the artist would reveal a "return to naturalism" with his motif of contemplative women before an open window. Uniting portraiture, decorative interiors and landscapes in one composition, Matisse dually investigates the theme of interiority, while providing the viewer with the aesthetic delights, available for his delectation.
