No. 1 Place Charles Felix-Qui est le plus fauve?
leaf on wood, oil on canvas with mirror
68 H x 53 W

"IN 1921 HENRI MATISSE TOOK THE FIRST OF TWO APARTMENTS HE WOULD OCCUPY AT NO. 1 PLACE CHARLES FELIX IN NICE, FRANCE. THE SUBTITLE QUI EST LE PLUS FAUVE? OR WHO IS THE MOST WILD? REFERS TO MATISSE'S PROMINENCE AS A FAUVIST, A NEW STYLE THOUGHT OF AS EXTREME IN ITS TIME FOR THE USE OF BROAD AREAS OF BRIGHT COLOR. THIS PIECE IS A WINDOW INTO THE APARTMENT THAT WAS USED AS THE STAGE FOR HIS RADICALLY ABSTRACTED INTERIORS." MARY
