Le bonheur de vivre (The Joy of Life) - (1905) by Henri Matisse - Poster serenity A single green hummingbird hoversHenri Matisse paints leisure like a gentle anthem in The Joy of Life. A sunlit grove opens onto the sea; nudes recline, stretch, and gather in a dancing ring at the center. Color is treated as emotion rather than description, with bold outlines and simplified shapes guiding the eye in calm, looping rhythms. This is Fauvism at its most lyrical.
