essential as the colour. There is a lot going on in this artwork. The rough brushstrokes are all over it,
but it is especially evident in the spots of colour that cover the wall behind it.
In Matisse's paintings, unity, balance, and focal point are the design principles. There is a
sense of unity in the artwork because of its texture and brushstrokes, as well as the excessively
bright colours throughout. There is also a sense of equilibrium in the woman's hat and her clothing
underneath it, thanks to their shapes. While not centred, the fullness of the hat mirrors that of the
torso and produces a balanced hourglass form.
Her eyes and face are the key points of this painting. They are in the exact centre of the
image, as well as in the inner curve of the suggested hourglass. The picture is quite expressionistic in
style. In this painting, the subject's form is defined by deeply textured black lines that contrast with
brilliant, unique colours that convey the artist's emotional response to the subject.
2. Dance (1910):
The colours and lines in Fauvism core painter Matisse's The Dance were just a passionate
combination of words, demonstrating the fascination of colour and composition. The lines were the
traces of a fluid dance, and the colour made the abstract artwork cleaner. Matisse's lines and colours
were perfectly balanced, and the impression of space they created inspired the free-dancing
posture. As a result of the five dancers working together, there was a sense of natural vitality and
delight in the dance.
