 Young Sailor (II)
Collioure, 1906

Huile sur toile | Oil on canvas
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection, 1998

One of few portraits of a male figure in Matisse's work, this painting depicts a teenage fisherman in Collioure, a coastal town that the artist visited for extended stays between 1905 and 1914. It was there that he and his friends first introduced the bright palette and free brushwork that led them to be denounced as fauves (wild beasts) in 1905. This portrait's simplified areas of flat color and the figure's masklike face present a bold stylization that Matisse knew would take his admirers by surprise: his friend and collector Leo Stein recalled that Matisse initially told him that the local postman in Collioure had painted it. In this picture's reproduction in The Red Studio, Matisse reduced the size of the canvas, made the figure smaller, and adapted the work's tone, harmonizing it with the paintings surrounding it.
