Matisse paintings began as still-lives and landscapes in the traditional Flemish style with reasonable proficiency. Henri-Emile-Benoit Matisse was a French artist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor, primarily known as a painter.
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.
Color was a crucial element in Matisse paintings. This practice was influenced by the post-impressionist works as well as by the Japanese art. It also led to reconstruction of Henri's own philosophy on still life. Henri stretched his paintings to a forced contemplation of the color surfaces. This stretch was patterned after the fragmented planes of Paul Cezanne.
Adopted from Signac, the Matisse paintings made use of the pointillist technique from 1899 to 1905. Showing a brief movement back to naturalism, they again utilized dark palettes in 1902-03.
The early Marc Chagall paintings showed fabulous and metaphoric images on everyday life as exemplified in Birth, The Deal and A Holy Family. Marc Zakharovich Chagall was a Russian-French artist referred to as the quintessential Jewish artist of the 20th century.
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.
Human grief and war hardships are the reflections in War. As a result of the intensification of the Jewish persecution, Marc Chagall paintings became strongly religious as can be gleamed from his works, Red Jew and Feast of the Tabernacles. Lyrical works filled with love towards a woman named Bella are the last 4 aforementioned Marc Chagall paintings.
