Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course on the art of Henri Matisse, we shall focus on coloristic procedures and phenomena, analysing a couple of key works on the one hand (from "Luxe, calme et volupté" of 1904 to the Chapel of Vence of ca. 1950), theoretical texts (by Signac and Matisse himself) and influential interpretations (by Jean-Claude Lebensztejn, Yve-Alain Bois or Sebastian Zeidler) on the other. On the basis of a critical understanding of the status quaestionis, we will try to get to new insights concerning puzzling questions such as Matisse' notion of a black as a "luminous colour".

Assessment and permitted materials

Participation in discussions, one oral presentation and, most important of all, an art historical paper (of 25 pages meeting common art historical standards). All means of scholarly research are welcome, while there is, of course, a ban on plagiarism.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Term paper, oral presentation, active participation are required. The overall grade results primarily from the paper, but the oral presentation und particiaption in the course can be very important, especially if the the quality of the paper is ambiguous ("between two grades").

Examination topics

Es handelt sich um eine prüfungsimmanente LV.

Reading list

Eine ausführliche Literaturliste wird zu Beginn des Semesters verteilt. Als Einstimmung auf das Seminar eignen sich die konzise Monographie von Lawrence Gowing: Matisse, München 1997 und, für philosophisch Interessierte, Ludwig Wittgensteins "Bemerkungen über die Farben".
