After going to the Baltimore Museum of Art, I became fascinated with one particular artist named Henri Matisse. Every time I go to a museum I try to pick one artist that I was most amazed by and then I write it down so that I can look out for his works when I go to other museums. When I first saw Henri Matisse's work it reminded me a little bit about one of Pablo Picasso's many styles during his lifetime. I have always been a great admirer of Picasso's work and thus why I think I was immediately breath taken by Matisse's work. My ultimate favorite out of all of his exhibited work, was the Purple Robe and Anemones. I love how he used the bright and colorful patterns that look like different quilts to represent an image. It is a depiction of a woman sitting down pondering, a very habitual thing, yet he knows how to transform into an outstanding work. It seems as if the painting is in movement because of all the different patterns that bring the painting to life. I am amazed at the way he the colors all work with each other and although all are very bright and have different patterns, you are never lost in the painting. Astonishing work done by Matisse, who takes realistic and habitual moments in daily life and turns into fun, lively, bright, and outstanding pieces of art.
