''Luxe, Calme et Volupté'' is an oil painting by the French artist Henri Matisse. Both foundational in the oeuvre of Matisse and a pivotal work in the history of art, ''Luxe, Calme et Volupté'' is considered the starting point of Fauvism.〔(Henri Matisse, ''Luxe, Calme et Volupté'', Déficience visuelle, Musée d'Orsay, Paris )〕 ==Background== ''Luxe, Calme et Volupté'' was painted by Matisse in 1904, after a summer spent working in St. Tropez on the French Riviera alongside the neo-Impressionist painters Paul Signac and Henri-Edmond Cross.〔UCLA Art Council et al. 1966, p. 11〕 The painting is Matisse's most important work in which he used the Divisionist technique advocated by Signac, which Matisse had first adopted after reading Signac's essay "D'Eugène Delacroix au Néo-impressionisme" in 1898.〔Oxford Art Online, "Henri Matisse"〕 Signac purchased the work, which was exhibited in 1905 at the Salon des Indépendants. Matisse abandoned the Divisionist technique the following year and became one of the pioneers of Fauvism. The painting's title comes from the poem ''L'Invitation au voyage'', from Charles Baudelaire's volume ''Les Fleurs du mal'' (''The Flowers of Evil''): :Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté, :Luxe, calme et volupté. :There, all is order and beauty, :Luxury, peace, and pleasure.〔(Poem and translation on Fleursdumal.org ) The translation is from William Aggeler, ''The Flowers of Evil'' (Fresno, CA: Academy Library Guild, 1954)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luxe, Calme et Volupté」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
