Still Life with Green Sideboard 1928

Henri Matisse’s “Still Life with Green Sideboard” from 1928 is a classic example of his distinctive artistic style. The work displays a vibrant color palette with a focus on simplified forms. The composition features a green sideboard, a plate of oranges, a pitcher, and a blue checked tablecloth. The subject matter is rendered in a bold and flattened manner, demonstrating Matisse's mastery of line and color. This painting exemplifies Matisse's exploration of still life as a genre and showcases his artistic innovations in the early 20th century.
