Henri Matisse | Woman before an aquarium, 1922

Henri Matisse was fascinated by the cultures of North Africa and the Middle East.

In 1903 he visited an Islamic art exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; in 1910 he traveled to Munich for a major display of Islamic objects and then to Spain to see Moorish architecture.
He also collected brilliantly colored and richly ornamented textiles, pottery, and tiles.
It was, however, the physical experience of these lands that proved to have the greatest impact on Matisse's vision and creativity.

Henri Matisse | Romanian blouse, 1940 | Centre Pompidou

The ornamental embroideries of the blouse are actually the main topic here, as the painter showed great interest in all types of fabrics.
Matisse was moved by the graphic beauty of motifs in craftsmanship that he collected.
He conveys his exaltation, smoothing out details, streamlining lines and creating colour blocks, as the stylisation of the oak leaves central ornaments suggests it.
The blouse billows out, becoming pictorial space as much as metaphor.
11 photographs show the various stages of creation for this portrait, gradually erasing the young girl to better emphasise the embroidered blouse. | Source: © Centre Pompidou, Musée national d’art moderne
