ART AWARENESS
Henri Matisse
The Purple Robe
HENRI MATISSE
1869- 1954
Was born in France on Dec 31st,1869.
His parents owned a grocery store and he was very interested in counting the sunflower seeds there.
Matisse discovered his love for art only when was around 22 years old.
This happened when he was recovering from an illness, when his mother gave him a box of paints so he wouldn’t be bored.
He studied to become a lawyer, but later talked his parents into letting him study art at a famous school in Paris.
Henri Matisse at work
He said he wanted his artwork to give people pleasure, and
be soothing – kind of like a comfortable armchair you can rest in after a hard day’s work.
Henri Matisse at work
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
Henri Matisse and Colors
Matisse said, “Color can do for the eye what music does for the ear….refresh the spirit”
Colors create an impression on your eyes.
Colors can give you different sensations
Colors can be warm or cold
He said, “ Everything we see passes through the eye, to be filed in a little room and then amplified by the imagination”

The Purple Robe
Painted in 1937. Eye is led around the room by
color and pattern. Observe how the colors purple,
turquoise, red, green, yellow, orange and black are all pulled together by pattern of repeated curves and are held down by diagonal straight lines on the floor and rug.
He often let the white canvas show through in spots to give his colors a bright sparkling feel.
