Still Life with Asphodels 1907

Henri Matisse's *Still Life with Asphodels* (1907) is a vibrant example of Fauvist art. The painting features a vase of asphodels, a type of flower, along with other objects arranged on a tabletop. The scene is rendered in bold colors, simplified shapes, and expressive brushstrokes that create a sense of energy and movement. The painting is a testament to Matisse's fascination with the expressive power of color, which he used to create a sense of joy and vitality in his works. The painting is currently housed in the Folkwang Museum in Essen, Germany.
