Bombs Away Dear Matisse
Kudos to Matisse making great art within his definition by showing that art has to have meaning within the colors on a canvas. Art according to dictionary.com states that, “the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance”, Matisse has reached that limit but beyond that limit in many ways.
If you have ever viewed any of Matisse artwork, it’s very odd and it makes you wonder how an artist can create weird scenarios to get the viewers attention. Looking back on his history, going to the best schools and studying arts in Paris were to help him on his way to make great art. Art has its mysterious of feeding its messing to people to create a piece of artwork. In some way, art spoke to him as creating unnatural colors with some sort of meaning behind it. It must be stressful for him as an artist to follow those bases.
One that caught my attention the most was Madame Matisse. Just as mentioned before in the positive part of Matisse, every brushstroke had some sort of story behind it that’s great to know. I wonder how his wife felt about this painting because it looks different. But every artist has their own vision on their work and his turn out to be “different”. Don’t get me wrong his work is very unique but showing some simplicity wouldn’t hurt. Being that half of the painting was half light and the other dark was very interesting but I would really like to know why it couldn’t be like one side happy and the other side sad or something similar to that.
Another piece of work by Matisse is The Joy of Life 1905-06. The colors are very eye popping and I wonder what the true meaning of this painting is supposed to be. It shows a lot of naked Caucasian people being happy and doing things at their pleasure. Why are they naked? Is it a sign of freedom? Also how there are random people just posing is just awkward and the people making a circle dancing. I’ve noticed that the circle of people is just like the dance painting later in 1909. I’m guessing that the previous painting has inspired a separate painting of the dancing circle of happy people. What I would suggest in the Joy of Life painting would be to put all of his positive pieces of work all in one to show a variety of his pieces of work all in one.
Another thing to add would be that Matisse criteria of having to put your mind to what it is set to as long as it has meaning behind it is good and bad at the same time. To start off with the bad news is that an artist could set its mind to whatever it is planned to do on his surface of material and it doesn’t always have to have meaning, sometimes the meaning would crawl up to you when the finish product appears in your face and your thoughts race to find a name of the piece of work. The good news is that all pieces of work should first be sketched out for a good final product and to think of your piece alongside with the meaning helps blow up a beautiful piece. All of these perspectives are from one persons eyes, not everyone views artwork the same but someone has throw the bomb down.
