“Matisse painted a number of pictures that featured goldfish, although they’re more red than gold. The cats I helped sneak into the picture don’t care about that. They are mesmerized by the little fish in the bowl. Imagine.” – Deborah Julian
About Matisse’s goldfish paintings
Some of Henri Matisse’s most famous paintings feature goldfish. Goldfish were a recurrent motif in Matisse’s work, appearing in over fifty of his paintings. In many of these works, the goldfish are depicted swimming in bowls or ponds.
Matisse was fascinated by the way that goldfish moved through water. He once said, “What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter.”
Goldfish also had a personal significance for Matisse. He saw them as symbols of happiness and harmony. In a letter to his son Pierre, he wrote, “When you have nothing more to say, you may have the impression you have said too much, but the goldfish in their bowl is a reminder that there is always something to contemplate.”
Matisse’s goldfish paintings are some of his most recognizable and beloved works. They reflect his passion for color, movement, and simplicity, and they stand as testaments to his artistic vision and genius.
