Guitarist 1903

"Guitarist" is a 1903 painting by Henri Matisse, a prominent figure in the Fauvist movement. The painting features a stylized figure playing a guitar against a bold backdrop of a red couch and patterned wallpaper, which the artist used to evoke a sense of vibrant energy and flatness. Matisse's signature use of vivid colors and simplified forms, characteristic of Fauvism, are evident in this work.
