Matisse in Tangier
...Inspired by the luminous North African light and the colour and harmony found in traditional Moroccan art, Matisse completed some 20 canvases and dozens of sketches during his time in Tangier. In them he honed the qualities that define his mature work: bold abstract lines, two-dimensional shapes and vibrant, expressive – as opposed to natural – colours.
Matisse mainly looked to the daily life of the medina for his themes. He produced several striking portraits of Zohra, a local prostitute, and a wonderful painting of a strong-featured Riffian woman sitting legs akimbo against an azure sky.
However, it is Matisse's renditions of the city that really strike a chord. Two of the most evocative are Vue sur la Baie de Tanger (View of the Bay of Tangier) and La Porte de la Casbah (Entrance to the Kasbah). Both are relatively subdued in their use of colour, but in Paysage Vu d'une Fenêtre (Window at Tangier) the artist hits full stride. The painting shows the view from his window in the Grand Hôtel Villa de France, looking out over St Andrew's Church, with its squat tower, to the kasbah beyond. The overriding colour is a pure, sizzling Mediterranean blue.
