Henri-Emile-Benoit Matisse was primarily known as a French painter. However, he was also an artist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor. Beginning as still-lives and landscapes, Matisse paintings were done with reasonable proficiency in the traditional Flemish style.
The early Matisse paintings tended towards the gloomy, due to the fact that Henri used a dark palette in accomplishing them. It was a rebellious reputation that his first contemporary art experimentations garnered.
Among the Matisse paintings, it was The Dinner Table that was first considered to be a masterpiece. Completed in 1897, it was considered radical due to its impressionist aspects. Impressionism was introduced in Matisse paintings between 1897 and 1898 and caused a dramatic change in Henri's painting style.
By 1899, Matisse paintings displayed rebellious talents with not much clear direction. To organize his thoughts and sensations whenever his paintings seemed stuck, Henri turned to sculpture.
Influenced by the works of the post-impressionist painters and the Japanese artists, Matisse paintings made color its crucial element. This contributed to a reconstruction in the still life philosophy of Henri. Patterned after Paul Cezanne's fragmented planes, Matisse paintings were stretched to a forced contemplation of the color surfaces.
From 1899 to 1905, Matisse paintings made use of the pointillist technique as adopted from Signac. Meanwhile, in 1902-03, they went back to dark palettes, briefly showing a movement back to naturalism.
A Russian-French artist named Marc Zakharovich Chagall was considered the quintessential 20th century Jewish artist. Marc Chagall paintings exhibited fabulous and metaphoric images on everyday life. This was clearly manifested in Marc's early works including Birth, The Deal and A Holy Family.
There was a demonstration of a perfect feeling for colors and a mastery of the Fauvism methods in Marc Chagall paintings. They also exemplified a mastery of new trends and tendencies. Among these new trends are Cubism, Futurism and Orphism. They were however reshaped in the Marc way. This reshaping is clearly shown in The Violinist, To My Betrothed, Golgotha and Paris Through the Window.
Filled with love and nostalgia are Marc Chagall paintings such as The Pinch of Snuff, The Cattle Dealer and I and the Village. However, during the First World War, the Marc Chagall paintings became very multifaceted in their everyday life representation despite remaining immersed in nostalgia.
During this period, the Marc Chagall paintings completed included Window at the Dacha, War, Red Jew, Feast of the Tabernacles, Birthday, Pink Lovers, The Promenade and Bella with White Collar.
War was a reflection of human grief and hardships during the war. The strongly religious Marc Chagall paintings, Red Jew and Feast of the Tabernacles were a result of the Jewish persecution intensification. Filled with love towards a woman named Bella, the last aforementioned 4 Marc Chagall paintings were considered lyrical works.
