Almost this artwork

Like his artistic hero, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse merged the traditional and the avant-garde. In Still Life with Geranium, he transformed a simple still life into a populated Arcadian mural painting, rendered in the brilliant colour, thick pigment, and rapid brushwork characteristic of the group of painters known every bit the Fauves (French for "wild beasts"). Matisse was recognized by critics as the leader of this group.

This composition is 1 of contrasts—the stake palette and light brushwork in the upper half of the motion picture are juxtaposed with the darker colored, heavily painted lower half; the firmly planted pose of the female effigy is contraposed with the about-fleeing figure of the male; and the ruby-red vegetables grown near Paris are set near ceramic objects from exotic, faraway places. One of many still-life paintings in which Matisse incorporated his ain figurative sculptures, here the artist challenged his viewers' expectations by rendering his modeled figures with minimal color and unproblematic lines. Probably represented equally plaster casts, these figures would later be made in bronze editions past the artist; versions of Woman Leaning on Her Hands (on the correct of the geranium) and Thorn Extractor (on the left) are also in the collection of the Art Constitute.
