The early 20th century art scene is arguably one of the most exciting periods of art. The artists of the time were beginning to have liberties that they had never previously had. There was a newfound freedom and ability to work in ways that had never before been accepted in the art world. Sometimes this new sense of freedom created a lot controversy. This controversy was certainly evident in the works of Matisse, Klimt, and Picasso.

The Woman with the Hat is an oil painting done on stretched canvas. It was painted by Henri Matisse in the year 1905. It is thirty one inches tall and 23 inches wide. It is currently at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

The style of Matisse used in The Woman with the Hat would later cause Matisse to react against his earlier fauvist style. Fauvism, is a style that is characterized by large brush movements and very bold color uses. The word fauves literally translates to mean “wild beasts.” In The Woman with the Hat, Matisse created a piece where the colors were very aggressively applied to the canvas.

Matisse brought The Woman with the Hat to 1905 Salon d’Automne. At the Salon, Matisse’s work created a large controversy. The subject matter, a clothed lady was by no means controversial. Instead it was the manner in which Matisse painted the woman. The Woman with the Hat uses very crude drawing, sketchy buswork, and colors that seem extremely arbitrary towards the final composition. Overall, it creates a lot of dissonance in piece and this dissonance was largely what people were reacting against.

The Kiss is a painting by the artist Gustav Klimt. It is a work done on stretched canvas in the medium of oil paint. It was painted between the years 1907 and 1908. It is an extremely large piece measuring at five feet, ten inches by six feet in size. It is currently located at Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna.

The Kiss is a painting done in the style of Art Noveau. Art Noveau was also sometimes referred to as Sezessionstil because it was largely associated with the succession of Viena. Art Noveau was a group of artists that was started in the late nineteenth century. It was an extremely progressive group of artists who seceded from conservative academics in and attempt to form dramatically more liberal associations.

Gustav Kilmt is one of the artists who was heavily involved in the sucession movement. Between 1907 and 1908 he worked in what has become known as his golden style. This style is represented In The Kiss. This style became known as his golden style to his usage of the color gold. The main figurative element of The Kiss is two couples embracing in a kiss. This couple is surrounding in an aura of gold.

The couple represented in The Kiss are in a state of tension. The body language of the woman especially does not point to the relationship being completely desired by both parties. This was largely intended as a political message. The Secession was a revolt against the political powers of the time. In Klimt’s work, The Kiss, the woman in the figure is meant to be representative of Vienna; not entirely into the relationship and wanting to break apart.

Les Demoiselles d’Avignon is work of oil on canvas. It was created by Pablo Picasso in 1907. It’s a very large work and is eight feet by seven feet, eight inches. It is housed in The Museum of Modern Art, in New York City.

Pablo Picasso is one of the most famous cubist painters and sculptors. His work, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon is a cubist works. One of his influences was Iberian figurative works. This Iberian influence is largely apparent in Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, especially in the facial configurations of the thre three woman on the left side of the piece. The figures in Les Demoiselles d’Avignon are somewhat simplified. They have very paired down features with wide eyes that are shaped like almonds.

The two women on the right hand side of Les Demoiselles d’Avignon are painted in a dramatically different style then the women on the left. These woman were painted in a style that was inspired by African masks that Picasso had seen in a show in Paris. Les Demoiselles d’Avignon was intended as a response to Matisse’s work Le Bonheur de Vivre, which was done in a style more similar to the French classical tradition.

Les Demoiselles d’Avignon was certainly not a tradition piece. The title is somewhat misleading. Les Demoiselles d’Avignon literally translates to “The Woman of Avignon,” however the Avignon that Picasso was referring to was the Avignon which is the red light district of Barcelona. While “demoiselles” literally translates to mean “young woman,” it is also a euphemism for prostitutes. Many in the art world, including Picassos friends were horrified by the subject matter of the piece.

Matisse, Klimt, and Picasso were all controversial artists. Often their work was not purely about their work. It was about politics, about society, and about the culture of the time. Their works were sometimes intended to be controversial. They were always meant to incite an emotional and/or intellectual reaction by the viewer. In this regards, these works from the early twentieth century are extremely exciting.
