오늘날 앙리 마티스(Henri Matisse) 작 콜리우르의 열린 창(Open Window, Collioure)은 부드럽고 서정적인 회화로 보일 수 있지만 작품 발표 당시에는 두터운 붓질과 강렬한 색상이 폭력적인 양식으로 간주되었습니다. 작은 화폭이지만 폭발적인 작품인 이 초기 모더니즘의 아이콘은 야수파의 가장 중요한 회화 중 하나로 유명합니다. 야수파 미술 작가들은 자연 외관의 엄격한 재현을 거부하고 자유로운 색상과 질감을 추구했습니다. 콜리우르의 열린 창은 마티스의 예술 세계에서 새로운 양식의 시작을 나타냅니다.

Open Window, Collioure (Korean)
A French window with its sill lined with flowerpots opens into a view of boats floating in a body of water in this loosely painted, vibrantly colored, stylized, vertical painting. The doors open inward, and they are painted with coral orange and cranberry red. The wall behind the door to the left is peacock blue and the wall to our right is fuchsia pink, and those colors are reflected in the opposite windows of the doors. Three flowerpots in crimson red, marmalade orange, or royal blue sit on the windowsill in front of us. Foliage in the pots is painted with short strokes of cardinal red and turquoise blue. Over the window, a two-paned transom window pierces a forest-green wall. The view through the panes has a band of salmon pink across the top and dabs of celery green and banana yellow below. The dabs and dashes of pine and lime green continue down the sides of the window and across the sill, suggesting vines growing up around the opening. A band of ultramarine blue beyond the flowerpots could be a balcony. Several rust-orange masts of ships with hulls painted with swipes of indigo blue, flamingo pink, forest green, and marigold orange float in the water beyond. The water is painted with parallel strokes in pale pink and butter yellow. The sky above is painted with thick, wavy lines of steel blue, periwinkle purple, and seafoam green. The artist signed the work in red paint in the lower right, “Henri Matisse.”
