![]() Her forehead is marked by a horizontal green smear, possibly the shadow from the brim of her hat. We know she was a Caucasian French woman, but here, her face is rendered in streaks of green, and blots of gray, mauves, and yellows. ![]() The woman’s red hair is pulled up, a small patch peeking out from under the wide brim of her hat. The colors might represent flowers or feathers in her hat. It is topped with exuberant puffs of oranges, greens and blues, swirling around each other. The wide blue brim sits straight across her forehead. Her giant hat dwarfs her it is nearly twice the size of her face. The woman is seated in profile with her face turned toward us. Her face anchors the center, and her dress fills the bottom. The woman’s enormous hat fills the upper third of the canvas. The painting is just over 2 and a half feet tall and almost 2 feet wide.

But many viewers of his day couldn’t accept Matisse’s riotous colors, and the raw, loose way he applied paint. The moniker stuck, and today many artists and scholars consider the work of these so-called “Fauvists” to be a turning point in the development of a modern art. And the-the critical reaction was-was strong, and one of the critics, Louis Vauxcelles, referred to this painting and paintings by Matisse’s colleagues as les fauves, or wild beasts. And when his colleagues and the salon president saw the piece, they had encouraged him not to show it, for fear that he would really embarrass himself by putting this on public view. So this painting was actually made in-in some haste. Matisse had been working on a very large landscape at the time and didn’t think that he could finish it.
