Matisse painted the happiness of life before painting the dance. To understand dance, we should pass Joy of Life, because the former is the promotion and amplification of the latter. "Happy life" is a harmonious and pleasant scene of human beings in nature. Matisse painted various figures such as flute players, lovers, gossips and dancers. This work is Matisse's breakthrough in painting techniques, but it has not been recognized by people. In the autumn art exhibition of 1906, Happy Life was ridiculed a lot. Fortunately, poet and art critic Apollinaire supported him. Apollinaire's affirmation of "happy life" made Matisse out of the predicament that was not understood by the public. In Happy Life, the center of the painting is the dance of five people. The prototype of this dance is that Matisse saw a circular dance called "Shadana" on the beach. He remembered the movements and melodies of the dance, and when he created it, he seemed to put it in, making the picture warm and unrestrained. Although the dance pictures of five people are not the main body, the dance shapes have been carefully studied because of their smooth lines and original vitality. Matisse obviously regarded this painting as a complete work when dealing with it, which led to the later dance.
Obviously, it is the dance itself that makes Matisse dance. 1909 He painted you with dance as the background, and the wind brought by the dancers blew through those still lives, making people feel that beauty fluctuates somewhere. 19 12 painted "Jin Ping Mei" and his work "Dance". These works continue his style, have the same personality, and the pictures are vivid and clear, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. 1943 also created a paper-cut collage dance. Matisse's dance theme works can't be said to have any profound thoughts, but they are joyful and pleasing to the eye, a celebration of life enthusiasm, and a poetic caprice based on the artist's skillful techniques.
