    Henry Matisse's 1905 painting "Madame Matisse in a Hat" features his wife wearing a green hat against a blue-green background. Matisse was a leading figure of the Fauvism movement known for his expressive use of bright, unnatural colors. He applied paint in thick brush strokes for a textured effect that emphasized color and emotion over realistic details. This painting exemplifies Fauvism's rejection of natural colors in favor of vibrant hues that convey a subjective response to the subject.
