Still Life With a Purro (I) 1904

"Still Life With a Purro (I)" is a 1904 painting by Henri Matisse, a prominent figure in the Fauvist movement. The painting showcases Matisse's signature style with bold, flat colors and simplified forms. The composition, a traditional still life, features a vibrant arrangement of objects including a jug, bottle, fruit, and a checkered tablecloth against a colorful, textured background. This work exemplifies Matisse's fascination with color and his ability to convey a sense of energy and movement through his expressive brushstrokes, even in a static subject.
