1899, Henri Matisse, Still Life, Compote, Apples, and Oranges -- Baltimore Museum of Art
From the museum label: While living in Toulouse with his wife's family before and after the birth of their son Jean in 1899, Matisse painted a series of still lifes that became increasingly bold in their use of vivid impressionistic colors. In this painting he takes a traditional still-life composition and modernizes it through the use of contrasting colors and intricately patterned brushstrokes.
