About the piece
Created during Matisse's second visit to Morocco in 1912, this work represents a pinnacle of his Fauvist period. The painting depicts a Riffian man in a voluminous green robe, set against a rhythmic background of saturated reds and blues that exemplifies the artist's masterful use of flattened space and intense visual energy.
