Colour was to be used in its purest form.
space was constructed and solved by the careful.
distribution of tones. Matisse refused to accept the traditional rules of perspective.
He did not wish to "hollow out" the surface. Instead he used an arrangement of tones.
behind his coloured figures which , in relatioship to each other and to the surfaces.
they covered , created an impression of space, a space filled with light which did.
not conceal the flat 2 dimensional character of the canvas.
Purity and simplification -.
Matisse felt that he could best convey his expression.
of a serene , detached world of forms , lines and colours best through a process of.
extreme simplification.
Composition - expression and decoration - .
Matisse wrote, "The whole arrangement of.
my picture is expressive. The place occupied by the figure or objects, the empty.
empty spaces around them, the proportions, everything plays a part. Composition.
is the art of arranging in a decorative manner the various elements at the painters.
disposal for the expression of his feelings.".
Form and content coincide - .
"Expression comes from the coloured surface which.
the observer takes in as a whole." i.e. the form, what you see when you look at.
the picture becomes the content, that is, what the artist expresses. Content is.
not related to the factors outside a painting.
Subject matter - .
Fauve subject matter is not revolutionary. It .is closely related to.
that of the Impressionists and Post Impressionists. They showed landscapes, interiors,.
figures and portraits. It is in the treatment of colour that differ immensely.

the non - descriptive colour of Gauguin and van Gogh.
The Fauves wished to accomplish the final liberation of colour towards which Seurat.
Gauguin and van Gogh had been experimenting.
