This course explores a range of fascinating works from early Fauvist paintings to the cut-outs of Matisse’s later career. We consider the wide-ranging influences on his art of Japanese prints, and Middle Eastern and African artefacts, together with his knowledge of Impressionism and colour theory. How does experimentation with colour, shape and spatial illusion make him one of the greatest artists of the 20th century?
