The role of depth in inciting the other senses has been discussed, but what if there was no depth and the entire composition was as flat as it could be. Flatness relieves a painting of the sculptural effect, but does it only present a space inhabitable to man? As far as this assessment is accurate, Greenberg fails to factor in what type of space is represented in flatness. Henri Matisse’s The Red Studio is a very flat painting, with everything in two dimensions. This painting agrees with in the most part with Greenberg’s arguments of flatness and is very similar to The Night Café. They are different in one simple and unique way: the background and foreground are not differentiated.

This flatness is even more emphasized at the left corner where there is no vertical line to show where the walls meet. Only flat and planar figures meet the eye as one physically guides his or her eyes through the space, agreeing totally with Greenberg’s assertions. But yet, through this method, Matisse creates…

driving the artist’s subjective emotional state. Rather than using idealized forms or classical codes, Fauvists believed that color had a spiritual quality that linked directly to the viewer’s emotional experience. This radical idea revealed that color could be used symbolically, breaking its previously established role as a descriptive element (MacTaggart, 2007). When asked to define Fauvism, Maurice de Vlaminck replied, “What is Fauvism? It is me; it was my style... my way of combined revolt…
