Maurice Prendergast | Along the Seine, 1892
Maurice Prendergast (1858-1924) was one of the first American painters to adopt a post-impressionist style.
His distinctive paintings utilize a pattern of flat, short brushstrokes and bold outlines to create brightly colored scenes of outdoor leisure.
Prendergast was born in St. John's, Newfoundland, in 1858.
In 1868 the family moved to Boston, the hometown of Prendergast’s mother, where the artist attended school through the eighth grade.
Prendergast first worked in a dry goods store and then began earning a living creating show cards—hand-lettered advertisements for store windows.

These were also exercises in the use of colour and a loose style of painting.
Henri Matisse (1869-1954)
Henri Émile Benoît Matisse è uno dei più noti artisti del ventesimo secolo, conosciuto principalmente per essere l'esponente di maggior spicco della corrente artistica dei Fauves.
La sua prima esposizione avvenne nel 1904, senza grande successo.
Nel 1905 si trasferì nel sud della Francia, per lavorare con André Derain 1880-1954, esperienza durante la quale si accentuò la sua tendenza ad enfatizzare fortemente il colore.
I dipinti di questo periodo sono caratterizzati da forme appiattite e linee controllate, con l'espressione che domina sui dettagli.
