Henri Matisse | Odalisque series


In 1917 Matisse relocated to Cimiez on the French Riviera, a suburb of the city of Nice.
His work of the decade or so following this relocation shows a relaxation and a softening of his approach.
This "return to order" is characteristic of much art of the post-World War I period and can be compared with the neoclassicism of Picasso and Stravinsky as well as the return to traditionalism of Derain.
