Le Jardin 1920

"Le Jardin" (1920) by Henri Matisse is an oil painting depicting a garden scene. The artwork is notable for its bold use of color and simplified forms, characteristic of Matisse's Fauvist style. It showcases a quintessential garden setting with lush foliage, vibrant flowers, and a glimpse of a building in the distance. The painting's composition emphasizes the flatness of the picture plane, highlighting the artist's focus on color and pattern over realistic representation. The loose brushstrokes and expressive use of color create a sense of vibrancy and energy.
