Fauvism - Tribute to Henri Matisse

Hello Dribbble!

Today I would like to share my new UI inspiration which is fauvism - style developed by Henri Matisse (among others) at the beginning of XX century.

What it is about?🎨

The fauvists were interested in the scientific colour theories developed in the nineteenth century – particularly those relating to complementary colours. Complementary colours are pairs of colours appear opposite each other on scientific models such as the colour wheel, and when used side-by-side in a painting make each other look brighter.

As well I love Matisse's quotes which show his unique perspective and approach to work and life generally.

  • “You must forget all your theories, all your ideas before the subject. What part of these is really your own will be expressed in your expression of the emotion awakened in you by the subject.” 

  • “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” 

  • “Creativity takes courage. ” 

Hope that this post could inspire somebody else to create! ✌️
