"Odalisque In Red Trousers" is an exquisite painting by Henri Matisse who is known for both his use of color and his fluid and original draughtsman-ship.
In the Odalisque with Red Trousers, the decorative motifs invade the pictorial space. On the right, two panels with large flower motifs close down the space and underline the flatness of the painting.
Matisse is commonly regarded as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.
