Rhythm as a principle of composition
Circulate color like a moving body
From the Dance designed for Sergei Shchukin to the large decor commissioned by Albert Barnes, Matisse returns to the collective movement as a laboratory. It simplifies the anatomy, enlarges the gesture and entrusts the flat areas of red, blue, green or black with the role of constructing space. The selection "Dance at Henri Matisse" notably compares Dancer, black background, rockery armchair and Capucines at La Danse I. Its reading favors drawing.
The round does not only describe a dance: it circulates the gaze from one figure to another without ever stopping it.
Course & style
From the primitive round to the architectural decor
In twenty-five years, Matisse went from easel canvas to monumental wall while maintaining the same search for momentum and balance.
Dance (I)
A first version fixes the round of five figures in a landscape reduced to three colors. This milestone illuminates the "Dance at Henri Matisse" collection by favoring drawing.
The dance
The sign intended for Shchukin intensifies the red of the bodies and the tension of the circle.
Merion's Dance
For the Barnes Foundation, the pattern fits three glasses and becomes colorful architecture.
