best known among the fauve was henri matisse. this is matisse's luxe, calme, et volupte.e began in 1904 to use a repertoire of colored patches and marks brilliantly synthesized from gauguin, van gogh, and signac, using them as the sumptuous pictorial vehicle for his own range of preindustrial idylls. his luxe, calme, et volupte is a spectacular example. fauve means wild beast. it was a critic's tag. and it was the seeming wildness of paintings like this by andre derain that made them, for contemporaries, so much more modern than their sources. by their sources, i mean gauguin and even van gogh. and yet, when one looks at a derain like this, i think it's very obvious that the discord, the tension that came with the sexual subject matter of kirchner in germany and of schiele in austria just isn't there. the fauves used their wild way with color-- it was actually much less wild than it seems. they knew exactly how to use a blue against a green, an orange or red against a yellow-- they used their way with color to ravish the eye. they produced versions not only of a golden ag

so everybody talked about color and matisse. if you're modern, you use color.ell, first of all, color is expensive. but then on the other hand, i don't really know whether i like those very colorful blues and yellows and oranges. i knew an older artist who once lived in paris. one day i said to him, "can you tell me something about color?" he says, "there's one thing i can tell you -- nobody understands color." i said, "fine, that's just the way it is with me." and that was the end of that problem. around 1958, '59, somewhere around there, i started a painting. it was 18 feet by about 9 or 10 feet, and i'd never done a painting that big. and then i realized i didn't have the space to come back to see my painting. it was too close, and i couldn't seem to get far enough away to see what i'm doing. then my feeling about how i see a painting changed. i realized every time i do something, if i have to run back to take a look at it, it's impossible. i can't paint that way. ah! ah! instead of looking, i had to feel it. ah! in order to feel it, to work with it, i had t
