Purple Robe and Anemones 1937

"Purple Robe and Anemones," painted in 1937 by Henri Matisse, showcases the artist's signature Fauvist style. Bold, flat colors, simplified forms, and a decorative approach are evident in the composition. The figure is depicted in a striking purple robe, contrasted by vibrant anemones in a vase and a still life featuring fruit on a green table. Matisse's use of line and color creates a sense of rhythm and movement, emphasizing the decorative qualities of the scene.
