Matisse - The Green Line

most influential members of the Fauve movement, was responsible for much of

the attention brought to it and its respective members. One of his works,

Madame Matisse: The Green Line, more or less serves as an excellent example of

what he was trying to accomplish in art: the use of color to express and

convey emotionsThe composition of the work consists of a portrait of Madame

Matisse in the foreground and a background divided into several distinct areas

of color. The division in the background is apparent in the juxtaposition of

the mauve, orange and blue green, with the foreground divided primarily by the

green strip itself, which runs down the middle of Madam Matisses face and

separates the painting along a vertical axis. The background and foreground,

however, are rendered almost completely flat, so that they seem to become part

of one another, and Madame Matisse seems to become somewhat of a portrait

within a portraitThe space in the portrait is more or less two dimensional,

with only a slight hint of depth illustrated by a dark area of shading above

Madame Matisses left shoulder. The perspective is entirely frontal with her
