Self Portrait 1918

This 1918 self-portrait by Henri Matisse, housed in the Matisse Museum in Le Cateau-Cambresis, France, showcases the artist in a seated pose, holding a palette and brush in one hand, and a paint-covered cloth in the other. This work is notable for its simplified forms and bold use of color characteristic of Matisse's Fauvist style. The painting's vibrant palette and expressive brushstrokes create a dynamic and engaging portrait, highlighting the artist's personal style and artistic process.
