Con le parole del museo — in russo

"Испанский натюрморт" исполнен одновременно с другим эрмитажным полотном - "Севильским натюрмортом", в том же номере гостиницы. Но композиция картины демонстрирует новый взгляд на знакомый мотив. Стол и диван приблизились к передней плоскости холста, вытеснив предметы первого плана "Севильского натюрморта". Цветовые пятна укрупнились, стали интенсивнее в тоне, вызвав изменение орнаментального ритма. Ткани покрыты крупным, четким узором, заполняющим особенно активно нижнюю и среднюю части картины. Но эта орнаментальная роскошь не абсолютна: энергичный рисунок скатерти и привлекающие внимание стилизованные плоды и цветы на темно-синей ткани не покушаются на живую прелесть цветущей герани и перцев на столе. Матисс подчеркивает физическое бытие и значимость в структуре холста и цветочного горшка, и двух кувшинов (все это существовало в "Севильском натюрморте", но не имело пластической выявленности). Они становятся центром композиции и вносят устойчивость в этот красочный мир.

Nel frattempo, nella vita di Henri Matisse

Tutta la vita
  1. 1908

    Shchukin's Commission for "Dance" and "Music"

    The Russian collector Sergei Shchukin commissioned three decorative panels from Matisse for his Moscow house: "Dance," "Music," and "Bathing" (which remained at the sketch stage). The money of Russian collectors allowed the artist to finally overcome his financial difficulties.

  2. 25 December 1908

    "Notes of a Painter"

    "Notes of a Painter" was published in La Grande Revue, in which Matisse formulated his artistic principles — the need to convey emotion directly through simple means.

  3. 1908

    Opening of the Académie Matisse

    With the support of the Steins, Hans Purrmann, and other patrons, Matisse founded a private, non-commercial painting school, where he taught from January 1908 to 1911. About 100 students studied at the academy during that time.

  4. 1911

    Visit to Russia

    In connection with the installation of the panels, Matisse visited Saint Petersburg and Moscow at Shchukin's invitation and was given an enthusiastic reception. The artist admired ancient Russian icons: "Now that is great art."

  5. 1912

    First Exhibition in the United States

    Matisse's first American exhibition was held in New York, organized by Alfred Stieglitz at Gallery 291.

  6. 1912–1913

    Seven Months in Morocco

    Matisse spent about seven months in Morocco, producing roughly 24 paintings and numerous drawings. His Orientalist motifs — odalisques and goldfish in aquariums — date from this period.
