Zorah in Yellow 1912

Henri Matisse's "Zorah in Yellow" from 1912 is a vibrant example of the artist's Fauvist style. The work depicts a seated woman, likely a Moroccan woman named Zorah, with a prominent use of bold, saturated colors. The figure's clothing and the background are painted in flat, simplified forms, highlighting the use of color over realistic representation. The artist's emphasis on color and expressive brushstrokes defines the Fauvist movement, which aimed to convey emotion and personal interpretation in art.
