1906, Henri Matisse, La Moulade -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)

From the museum label: Matisse returned to Collioure in the summer of 1906, this time inviting his daughter, Marguerite, to join him and his wife, Amélie. They ventured further afield on painting excursions, discovering for the first time the rugged coastline of a stretch of beach called La Moulade. There, Matisse made a series of small paintings featuring highly abstracted and often thickly brushed colors and forms that take on their own symbolist language.
