Woman with a Hat – (Henri Matisse) Previous Next


Artist:

Style: Fauvism

Topic: Clothing Woman Women

Date: 1905

A painting by Henri Matisse from 1905. It is believed that the woman in the painting was Matisse's wife, Amelie. It was exhibited with the work of other artists, now known as "Fauves" at the 1905 Salon d'Automne. The pictures gained considerable condemnation, but also some favourable attention. The painting that was singled out for attacks was Matisse's Woman with a Hat, which was bought by Gertrude and Leo Stein: this had a very positive effect on Matisse, who was suffering demoralisation from the bad reception of his work. The painting is now in San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
