"The Guitarist" (1903) by Henri Matisse depicts a musician in a simplified style characteristic of the Fauvist movement. Bold colors, particularly in the red curtain and yellow wall, dominate the composition. The figure is rendered in a flattened manner, emphasizing form over detail. Matisse's work is known for its expressive use of color and the exploration of the decorative aspects of painting.
