Henri Matisse, 1906
Oil on canvas 100 x 82 cm
The Young Sailor 1 & 2
Matisse
had originally painted the first young sailor inspired by an eighteen year old
fisherman in 1906. Comparing both paintings one can realise that the first
painting Matisse produced contains rough brush strokes, a wider variation of
colours, attempting to blend in the colours into each other. He also went into
further details, identifying the lighted areas of the sailor, creating
different tones and shades. Matisse also drew the young sailor in a realistic form
and more detailed compared to the second sailor.
Matisse
then later transformed his first young sailor, creating a second one by using
brighter colours, making use of brighter tones such as; pink in his background
and darker tones of blues and green in the sailors clothing. The second sailor
Matisse produced and transformed compared to the first one also implies sharper
defined lines, taking his blending technique even further in the young sailors
clothing. Doing so, the painting Matisse produced concluded in being more flat then the first one and unrealistic in the young sailors shape and form.
