Self-Portrait in a Striped T-shirt 1906
Oil on Canvas
Henri Matisse | Make the implicit explicit | Looks very solemn. He is not showing any emotion. In a way he is a little intimidating. |
Artists likes to use all sorts of different colors. Known for very fluid strokes. | Locate pattern of the same or similar detail; make what is implicit in pattern of details explicit | Seems very quiet and seems like a man who keeps to himself. Seems like the focal point is at his eye. |
Likes to use contrasting colors. Uses the green on his face to contrast the red on his shirt. | Locate organized contrast; make what is implicit in the contrast explicit | Has the blue in the back of his head, outlining it. Uses brighter colors around the face, bringing your attention to his eyes. |
Was at one point labeled as a "Fauve" meaning wild beast. | Anomalies; make what is implicit in the anomalies explicit | In this painting he just looks solemn and intimidating a little bit the way he is looking at you. |
