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.”

开着的窗户

马蒂斯

如今看亨利·马蒂斯的这幅《开着的窗户》，可能看到的是温柔和抒情，但是在最初，这幅画因其厚重的笔触和强烈的色彩，被认为充满野性画风。这幅画作规格虽小却极具冲击力，是早期现代主义风格的代表作，被誉为野兽派最重要的作品之一。野兽派艺术家热衷于将色彩和质感从对自然形态的刻板写实中解放出来。这幅画作是马蒂斯野兽派艺术风格的开篇之作。

HARRY COOPER:

关于色彩，马蒂斯曾说过这件事：“当我用绿色，不是画青草。当我用蓝色，不是画天空。”

NARRATOR:

这里您会看到他说的意思：粉色的波浪、橘色的船桅和五彩缤纷的天空。

哈里·库珀，现代艺术策展人和负责人。

HARRY COOPER:

这幅小小的画作确实产生巨大的影响。我们经常看见它出现在海报和日历上，已经习以为常。但在当时，即使对于习惯印象主义的观赏者来说，这幅画的影响更为深远。

我认为位于中心位置的船舶，只用四笔厚重的颜料画成，一笔泛白的粉红色、一笔蓝色、一笔是接近粉橘色的笔触，和一笔深绿色：体现许多发明创造，超过马蒂斯可能在这里看到的东西。

NARRATOR:

这幅画作标志着马蒂斯的艺术生涯的里程碑。1905 年他在秋季沙龙上展出这幅作品，在那里，一位评论家对他及其几位同行表示否定，称他们为“一群野兽”，将他们的作品称为“纯色调的恣意横行”。但这名称就这样留了下来，以马蒂斯为首的这个松散的联盟团体开展一场成为二十世纪初期的首个法国前卫运动。

HARRY COOPER:

中间部分可爱迷人又动感十足。但它周围是怎样的呢？有框架，像是墙壁、窗户等；他从那里偏离印象主义，那种到处使用点点笔触，形成一种抒情韵律的画法。然后他开始使用大面积的色彩并让它们彼此制衡。我想我们就是在那里看到未来的马蒂斯。
