The green Stripe
The Green Line by Henri Matisse
In the early 20th century, artists started to use the ‘new’ in a new sense. Something independently devoted to invention new. Artists qualified themselves by creating exceptional paintings. According to this movement, art was something radical, talk’s intelligence and was an object of mind and knowledge. During that period, some artists began to move away from paintings overtly religious scenes and began incorporating observational painting and images of the natural world into their work. These artists created beautiful and significant paintings. Some of them are Paul Cézanne, Vincent Van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin etc. They all are talented painter but the one that mostly attracted my attention was Henri Matisse. It was a great pleasure watching and discussing about his paintings in class. After viewing the beautiful works of this complicated, emotional artist and reading about his hardships of applying himself during his work, I found myself further drawn to one painting in particular titled ‘’The Green line (Portrait of Madame Matisse)’’ which Henri did in 1905. This enchanting painting, 40.5x32.5cm (157/8x127/8in) oil and tempera canvas, indeed his famous work, Matisse painted his wife with the two halves of her face in different colors. Consideration of the use of colours reveals the positive aspect of this painting which is indeed its beauty.
Henry Matisse was probably the more outstanding contributors to the Fauvist movement. He also was the artist that carried most interest to it and his associates. The Green line was one of his famous pieces. It provides an exceptional illustration of his artistic aspiration, which was primarily the bold application of colours to communicate and convey human emotions. The composition itself is comprised of a portrait in the foreground of Madame Matisse and a background explicitly separated into several regions of colours. This explicit division in the background
