Henri Matisse - The Woman with the hat
Many may think at first, what is this painting with all the crazy colours? Others will look at it, and think it is cool, and fits together so well that they didn't notice all the colours on the face of the woman. But Matisse's expressionist painting depicts a lot of emotion within it. It is the beauty of the colours he's used work so well together. This painting oozes feeling and emotion, and you can see that being an expressionist, Henri has done well to show his viewers of the emotion in the painting.
However, it is not just the colours, it is the techniques he's used. By using a base of hot colours on the face, and side of the face, it stands out more. By using lighter colours in the background, it gives the painting depth.
And the hat? The hat is the most wonderful piece of the painting. Call it being a statement, he used statement fashion to make his pieces stand out! Without this hat, the painting would never have been called 'The Woman with the hat'. Such a simple name, defining exactly the obvious in the painting, yet such a beautiful expressive painting.
Hats off to you Matisse!
