Tablo hakkında

Three Bathers, Henri Matisse's 1907 canvas at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in Minneapolis, was bought directly from him that December by Oskar and Greta Moll. It later passed through the collections of Léopold Zborowski and his widow Anna. Putnam Dana McMillan purchased it from Carstairs Gallery in 1950 for $10,000 and left it to the museum in 1961. It is not on view.

Müzenin anlatımıyla

This painting, like Boy with a Butterfly Net, dates from Matisse’s immediate post-Fauvist period, and is a characteristic example of his painting to its most elemental. Broad blocks of color indicate land, water and sky. The thick contour lines defining the bathers seem pictorial and sculptural at the same time, and indicate Matisse’s struggle to reconcile volume and two-dimensional design through reductive means.

Three Bathers relates to Matisse’s much larger Bathers with a Turtle from 1908, now in the St. Louis Art Museum. These paintings inaugurated a period of artistic experimentation that culminated in Matisse’s monumental painting known as The Dance.

Henri Matisse: hayatındaki yeri

Tüm yaşam öyküsü
  1. summer 1904

    Summer in Saint-Tropez with Signac

    Together with the Neo-Impressionists Paul Signac and Henri Cross, Matisse went to Saint-Tropez, where he began working in the Divisionist technique. There he painted his first masterpiece, "Luxe, Calme et Volupté" (1904/1905).

  2. summer 1905

    Collioure: The Birth of Fauvism

    Matisse spent the summer of 1905 with André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck in the fishing village of Collioure on the Mediterranean. Together with Derain he created a new style that entered art history as Fauvism.

  3. 1905

    Scandal at the Salon d'Automne

    Matisse showed "The Open Window" and "Woman with a Hat"; Louis Vauxcelles's review of 17 October 1905 gave the group the nickname "fauves" ("wild beasts"). "Woman with a Hat" was bought by Leo Stein for 500 francs, which raised the market value of the artist's work.

  4. 1906

    Meeting Pablo Picasso

    The first meeting between Matisse and Picasso took place at the Steins' salon on the Rue de Fleurus in Paris. Their creative friendship was full of rivalry and mutual respect.

  5. 20 March 1906

    "Le Bonheur de Vivre" at the Salon des Indépendants

    Matisse presented "Le Bonheur de Vivre" (The Joy of Life), a painting combining pastoral and bacchanal motifs. Critics and academic circles reacted with extreme irritation, but Leo Stein purchased this painting as well.

  6. 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.
