Portrait of Madame Matisse (The Green Line) by Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse is a name we closely relate to Fauvism, a style of painting where rough brush strokes and strong color palettes aim to provide emotional power, rather than adhering to realistic representations such as the Impressionists were concerned with. This portrait of Henri's wife, Amélie, shows how Matisse was able to represent his subject without using the actual natural colors one would expect.
