The Moroccans

1916

by Henri Matisse



Original Dimensions: 181.3 x 279.4 cm

The real significance of The Moroccans lies in what it tells us about Matisse's development as a painter. For the previous six years, Picasso and Braque had been developing Cubism and in doing so, taking over from Matisse as radical leaders of the avant-garde. Matisse had not particularly related to or engaged with Cubism, finding it overly severe, analytical and lacking in colour.
