"Henri Matisse - Voyage" Portrait of the French painter (1869-1954). Documentary 1987 by Didier Baussy-Oulianoff. Paintings of Mediterranean life, brimming with joie de vivre and cheerfulness, made Matisse one of the most popular artists of the 20th century. Even an artist like Picasso was amazed by his paintings, paper cutouts, and collages. The co-founder of the Fauves understood how to capture the essence of a person with just a few lines and used color to create emotions. Based on Matisse's writings on art and archival film footage, the filmmaker presents the life and work of the Frenchman. He travels to New York, Tangier, and Tahiti, visiting the places where Matisse's interest in decorative patterns and vibrant colors was sparked.
