O obrazu
Henri Matisse named Daisies of 1939 after its vase of flowers; the painting is in the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago. Broad, flat areas of red, blue and black reflect his interest in abstraction and compositional stability. Its first owner was dealer Paul Rosenberg. Within a year of buying it, he fled France as Nazi persecution targeted Jewish dealers. The painting was confiscated with most of his collection. After the war, recoveries by the US Army enabled him to reclaim it and take it to his new New York gallery.
Slovy muzea
Henri Matisse titled this composition after the prominent vase of flowers on a tabletop. The large fields of unmodulated black, blue, and red reflect the artist’s growing interest in abstraction and a formal effect that he termed “ballast,” a synonym for stability.
Painted only months before France declared war on Germany, Daisies was first owned by the influential modern art dealer Paul Rosenberg (1881–1959). Within a year of purchasing the painting, Rosenberg, among other Jewish dealers, was targeted by the Nazis and was forced to flee France. Daisies was seized along with the majority of Rosenberg’s collection. Only after the war ended and a portion of these works were recuperated by the US Army was Rosenberg able to reclaim some of his collection, including this piece, which he brought to his newly founded gallery in New York.
