Abstract

Matisse arrived at an articulate statement of his theory of art in 1908 and kept it as his guide with remarkable consistency throughout his life. He believed in a purely decorative and hedonistic art. Accordingly, he stripped his paintings of all the disturbing or boring sides of life, and gave full play to what is festive, as in the early Joy of Life. A painting should contain nothing exciting or excessive, and, above all, no message.
