The Blue Jabot 1935

Henri Matisse's "The Blue Jabot" (1935) is a portrait painting depicting a woman wearing a red blouse with a large blue jabot, a decorative collar. Matisse is known for his vibrant use of color and simplified forms, which are evident in this painting. The background is a striking combination of yellow and black, further emphasizing the woman's figure. This work exemplifies Matisse's artistic style, often referred to as Fauvism, a movement characterized by bold colors and expressive brushstrokes.
