Art History | Henri Matisse | Blue Nudes - Video

The third video in the series on the nude figure and how male and female artists portrayed this subject matter. This video goes into the the approach of Henri Matisse with the female nude figure, culminating with his Blue Cutout Nudes. I also spend some time discussing how we get from highly naturalistic art to an abstraction of the figure.
