Paintings By A French And A Russian-French

By Darren Hartley


In the traditional Flemish style, Matisse paintings began as still lives and landscapes. They were completed with reasonable proficiency. Primarily known as a painter, Henri-Emile-Benoit Matisse was also a French poet, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor.

The early Matisse paintings tended towards the gloomy, due to the fact that Henri used a dark palette in accomplishing them. It was a rebellious reputation that his first contemporary art experimentations garnered.

Among the Matisse paintings, it was The Dinner Table that was first considered to be a masterpiece. Completed in 1897, it was considered radical due to its impressionist aspects. Impressionism was introduced in Matisse paintings between 1897 and 1898 and caused a dramatic change in Henri's painting style.

Henri's rebellious talents were displayed in Matisse paintings by 1899. They, however, did not have a clear direction. Sculpture became the discipline Henri turned to when he got stuck with his paintings. Sculpture helped Henri organize his thoughts and sensations.

Matisse paintings made color a crucial element, influenced by the works of the post-impressionists and Japanese art. They reconstructed Henri's own philosophy of still life, stretching it to a forced contemplation of the color surfaces, patterned to Paul Cezanne's fragmented planes.

From 1899 to 1905, Matisse paintings made use of the pointillist technique as adopted from Signac. Meanwhile, in 1902-03, they went back to dark palettes, briefly showing a movement back to naturalism.

Exemplified in Birth, The Deal and A Holy Family, the early Marc Chagall paintings featured fabulous and metaphoric images of everyday life. Referred to as the quintessential Jewish artist of the 20th century, Marc Zakharovich Chagall was a Russian-French artist.

There was a demonstration of a perfect feeling for colors and a mastery of the Fauvism methods in Marc Chagall paintings. They also exemplified a mastery of new trends and tendencies. Among these new trends are Cubism, Futurism and Orphism. They were however reshaped in the Marc way. This reshaping is clearly shown in The Violinist, To My Betrothed, Golgotha and Paris Through the Window.

Marc Chagall paintings that are filled with love and nostalgia included The Pinch of Snuff, The Cattle Dealer and I and the Village. During the First World War, the Marc Chagall paintings became very multifaceted, immersed in nostalgia and represented everyday life.

Window at the Dacha, War, Red Jew, Feast of the Tabernacles, Birthday, Pink Lovers, The Promenade and Bella with White Collar were some of the Marc Chagall paintings exhibited during this period in Marc's life.

War was a reflection of human grief and hardships during the war. The strongly religious Marc Chagall paintings, Red Jew and Feast of the Tabernacles were a result of the Jewish persecution intensification. Filled with love towards a woman named Bella, the last aforementioned 4 Marc Chagall paintings were considered lyrical works.
