Matisse Room

On view in this room are paintings by Henri Matisse (1869–1954) produced from 1896–1897 to 1908. The earliest works were produced under the influence of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, yet colour becomes intense. The Fauvist period is represented by the landscape paintings "View of Collioure" (1905 ), "Woman on a Terrace" (around 1906) and still lifes "Vase, Bottle and Fruit" (1906),"Dishes and Fruit on a Red and Black Carpet"(1906 ) and "Bouquet (Vase with Two Handles)" (1907).
