Clearing out some paperwork tonight and I found these beautiful items. I was working supply as a Y5 teacher and the students were studying Fauvism, looking at artists such as Matisse. I gave them a range of iconic images to work with and several of them chose Bowie in his Aladdin Sane phase. I made photocopies of my favourites. The portrait is an original, a gift from a student when I left to join my current school. Now they have been rediscovered, I absolutely plan on framing them and showing them off in my home. #Fauvism #Matisse #DavidBowie #AladdinSane #portraits #art #creativity #teaching

Rik Wouters (1882-1916)
Lezende vrouw (1913)

Wouters' art resembled the works of artists including Henri Matisse, Paul Cézanne and André Derain – the "forefathers" of Fauvism.

"Bowl of Apples on a Table," Henri Matisse, 1916.

Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the great pioneers of modern art. Although also a printmaker and sculptor, he is best known as a painter.

This was painted during the Fauvist period, a short-lived style of painting that focused on bright colors with strong black outlines. He also borrows a bit from Cubism here; while it's fairly straightforward, Matisse also ignores perspective. Either the tabletop or the table leg are out of perspective. Cubism was about presenting multiple perspectives at once, as Matisse does here.

Matisse moved through several styles in his long lifetime, and even toward the end, when he could no longer hold a paintbrush, he would work with colored paper cutouts, arranging them as he pleased. He always pushed the envelope!

From the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, VA.

Summer Road 🎨 mine Vizcaya has the Biscayne Bay on one side. 15 acres of rare tropical forests surround the estate and make the gardens feel secluded on the other side. It’s always 200 degrees when we walk the grounds. #painting #landscape #tropical #landscape #fauvism #digitalpainting #miami
