Red Interior. Still Life on a Blue Table 1947

Henri Matisse’s "Red Interior. Still Life on a Blue Table" (1947) is a vibrant and simplified depiction of a room interior, characteristic of the artist's mature style. Matisse's bold use of color, especially the dominant red, creates a sense of energy and intensity, highlighting the flatness of the composition. The simplified shapes of the objects and the zig-zag pattern of the wallpaper further emphasize this flatness, typical of Matisse's decorative style. The still life on the blue table, featuring a vase of flowers and red apples, adds a touch of realism to the otherwise abstract composition.
