Le Bonheur de vivre (The Joy of Life) by Henri Matisse

Le Bonheur de vivre (The Joy of Life) (1906)

Henri Matisse | Fauvism | Oil on canvas

A magical paradise filled with happy people dancing, playing music, and relaxing in a colorful landscape of pinks, oranges, and greens!

Did you know? When it was first shown in 1906, some critics worried it meant the end of French painting, and the painter Paul Signac wrote that Matisse seemed to have gone to the dogs. By the 1920s it was hailed as a modern masterpiece!
