Internal Narrative and Creative Framework
-
Inner Narrative
The painting is an expression of Matisse's artistic explorations, where the silhouette of the woman becomes a symbol of emotion and creative freedom, rather than a faithful representation of reality.
The key to interpreting the work
Interpret as a manifestation of Fauvism, where color and form serve to express subjective feelings, and also as an important work in the history of modernist art.See other works by this artist
