Favism in which short strokes of pure color derived fom the snip of van goh and Seurat argon combined with curvilinear planes of flat color inspi chromatic by by gaugunis pictures and are nary(prenominal)vau decorative arts. The assertive colors, which he likened to sticks of dynamite do not record what he actually saw in the decorate by rather generate their own purely artistic talent as they pull the artists intense feeling about what he saw. Henri Matisse, The charwoman with the hat, 1905-Like Derain Matisse was interested in deliberate disharmonies.The painting sparked controversy at the 1905 beauty shop dAutomne. Not because of subject was depicted with crude drawing, sketchy rinse run short, and wildly arbitrary colors that create a savage and dissonant effect. Henri Matisse, Le Bonheur de Vivre(The Joy of Life), 1905-depicts nudes in attitudes close to traditional studio poses, but the landscape is intensely bright. He def finished his aims in 1908 pamphlet called notes of a painter What I am after, above all, is expression, he wrote.

The place occupies by the figures or objects, the empty lacunas around them, the proportions, everything plays a part. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, alley, Berlin- Dominating the left half of the painting, two prostitutes, advertised by their large feathered hats and fur trimmed coats, strut past wellhead urbane ourgeois men, their potential clients.

But the work taes us into a vortex of color, line and shape. If we recognize buildings or mountains or faces in the work, because perhaps we are seing in the old way, facial expression for corresponences between the painting and the domain of a function where none are intended.Rather the artist would redeem us look at the painting as if we were hearing a shmphony, respnding insticntivley and spontaneously to this or that passage, and then to the total experience.

All of the saltimbanques seem psycholically withdrawn and uncommunicative as silent as the emoty andscape they occupy.Picasso, Les Demoisleels dAvogmon, 1907-Iberian influences is seen in the faces of the three leftmost figures, with their simplified features and wise, almond shaped eyes.

Georges Braqu, houses at LEstaque- Reveals the emergence of early Cubism.Inspired by Cezannes example, Braque reduced natures many colors to its essential browns and greens and eliminated detail to underscore basic geometric forms.

Georges Braque, Violin and Palette, 1909-10-the in small stages abstraction of deep space and recognizable subject matter is well under way.

The brightly colores circular forms that fill the canvas suggest both the battlefront of the propellar on the left and blazing sun. Fernand Legere, Three women, 1921- Machine age interlingual rendition of the French odalique tradition that dates back to Ingeres.The picture space is shallow and soaked by less radically shattered than analytic cubist works. The women arranged within a geometric grid stare out blankly at us, embodying a quality of classical calm. Legers wome haveidentical faces, and their bodies seem assembled from metal parts. Boccion, uncommon forms of continuity in space, 1913-an armless nude figure in full, unchewable stride.
