马蒂斯受到印象派、后印象派、点彩派和塞尚的影响,后形成了自己的一套风格,能够用简捷的线条和鲜明的色彩塑造出他所构想的一切,美感来自于线条和韵律本身。
馬諦斯在漫長的一生中嘗試了各式各樣的風格和技法。他最初迷戀於新印象主義風格，並且借用和改編其他畫家、時代和文化內容，不斷地探求令他感到滿意的繪畫表現方法。
1904 年，馬諦斯開始用點描主義的風格去進行創作，更標誌著馬諦斯對於這種新技法的迷戀達到了頂點。但點描法卻令他十分煩惱，他說「分解色彩與分解形體和輪廓相連。剩下的是過於平淡的平面，這只會令視網膜感到焦躁，它破壞了色塊和輪廓帶來的平靜」。
為了自己的繪畫注入活力，表現出動態、音樂性和節奏。馬諦斯得出結論，他認為色彩的功能不在於對光線的模仿，而是在於創造出光線。印象派以冷或暖來理解色彩的概念。而馬諦斯想做的是透過色彩的對比表現出光線，透過將明亮的色彩配置在一起放射出光線。
馬諦斯向點描主義階段性的靠攏，只不過是通向更大膽、更緊密的色彩和形體使用的墊腳石。在此之後，他發展出野獸派的畫風，完全脫離了新印象主義的表面性和形式化的「美麗」。
Henri Matisse (French, 1869 - 1954) was an artist known for both his fluid use of colour and his original draughtsmanship. He was an illustrator, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter. Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century.

Wax Seal of Gallery/Collector (Verso)
收藏/海关蜡印（反面）
Note（点评）：
The red wax seal on the back of an artwork typically serves as a provenance marker, a collector's coat of arms, or an official customs/export stamp. Historically, aristocratic European collectors, galleries, monasteries, and government customs authorities applied these unique wax seals directly to the frame or canvas stretchers to verify ownership, inventory, or legal export permission
a red wax seal on the back of a European modern art piece typically represents one of three things:
1. European Customs or Export SealsDuring the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, European countries—particularly France and Italy—frequently applied official hot wax stamps to the back of canvas frames or stretchers. This was done by customs authorities to certify that the artwork was legally cleared for export, or to verify that it had been inspected by a government fine arts ministry (such as the French Ministère de la Culture).
2. Private Collector or Estate CrestsWealthy European aristocrats, prominent art patrons, and private collectors historically stamped pieces in their personal inventory with a family coat of arms or a personal signet crest. Famous dealers of Matisse's era (like Ambroise Vollard or Paul Guillaume) and major institutional collectors used specific backside stamps, labels, and seals to track and prove the painting's provenance.
3. French Gallery or Exhibition Inventory MarksSome historic French galleries used customized wax matrices to securely seal inventory tags or strings to the stretchers. This ensured that the gallery's identification number or exhibition history couldn't be easily detached or swapped with another painting.
