Sul dipinto

Con le parole del museo — in russo

По стилю исполнения специалисты относят этот натюрморт к группе произведений 1898-1899 гг., созданных художником на Корсике в Тулузе. Поездка на Корсику, встреча с яркой южной природой, с ослепительным светом солнца помогли Матиссу уйти от изменчивой, мерцающей импрессионистической световоздушной стихии. Матисс почти по-сезановски уплотняет воздух, интенсифицирует свет и форму. И, наверное, не случайно, возникает образ срезанных, но продолжающих излучать солнечную энергию подсолнухов. Эти цветы, так же как и характер энергичных пастозных мазков, заставляют вспомнить о живописи Ван Гога.
