Nu à la chaise longue 1923

"Nu à la chaise longue" (1923) by Henri Matisse is a striking example of the artist's signature style, Fauvism. This painting features a nude female figure, rendered with simplified forms and bold, flattened colors, reclining on a chaise lounge against a background of floral patterns. Matisse's bold use of color and simplification of form, characteristic of Fauvism, creates a sense of vibrancy and sensuality. This iconic artwork is a testament to Matisse's mastery of color and his exploration of the human form.
