Passion and Possibility by Recreating Matisse's Icarus
The selected painting is Henry Matisse's Icarus. This work was created between
1943 and 1944. This paint is included in the jazz series. The reason I chose this work
was because I was interested in its raw feel and the collage-style technique created by
attaching together. Also, the subject of this painting, Icarus, is a mythical character who
falls due to arrogance, but the figure of Icarus depicted in this work looks more like
dancing than falling. The reason this image caught my eye was because, to my eyes,
the Icarus in this work did not seem like a man corrupted by arrogance, but rather a
man with red passion who took on challenges that seemed impossible.
In the process of recreating this work, some parts were cut out of paper, just as
Matisse did with his works. However, for the background part of the work, I used fabric

rather than paper. With the wrinkled effect of the fabric, I wanted to give the feeling of
Icarus falling into the sea and floating on it.
There are various interpretations of the symbolic meaning of this work. Some
argue that the falling Icarus is a projection of a falling air force, reflecting the war that
was going on at the time the work was created, while others argue that the yellow stars
around Icarus are not stars but wing feathers. In this way, various interpretations and
meanings are given. If I understand this work from my perspective as a person living in
the 21st century, I think the red heart of Icarus symbolizes the spirit of challenge,
passion, desire for the seemingly impossible, and the human will to overcome
something huge. So Icarus accepts the challenge and dances to success. The place
where he is is a sky of endless fall. No one knows whether it will be a sea where failure
can be accepted.
I admire Matisse's work and his style. At the time Matisse created this work, he
was in poor health and had difficulty holding a brush. At this time, he happened to cut
out a bird shape, and it is said that it was not only difficult but also fun. So he continued
to cut out various shapes and colors and place them on the canvas, opening up a new
world of work. Because the form is simple, you may think, ‘I want to make something
like this too.’ But you can't even imagine how much thought and repetition went into
creating this implied form. So this work seems to be full of the innocence and
tremendous energy contained in the last moments of his life.

Handout: Week 9 Submission due: Week 11 Weighting: 5% out of a 100%
Learning Outcomes: • Investigate relationships between formal elements in art and their
thematic, historical, cultural, and/or ideological context.
• Demonstrate a basic understanding of art historical terminology.
• Apply visual evidence to support ideas about artwork in various media through discussion, written, studio, and other assignments.
• Recognize common currents and contrasting characteristics of different periods and art movements.
Assignment Description: • You will write recreate a historical artwork (in the form of a photo) from the period covered by this course (1700-2020) using objects/materials/people in your home.
• You must also include 3 “behind the scenes” photos that show you and your process of creating the final image.
• You will also submit a short, written essay that explains your process and how your photo is a commentary on the historical artwork.
• YOU WILL PRESENT YOUR PHOTO AND ESSAY TO THE CLASS AS
AN ORAL PRESENTATION. You must ask the class a question about
your presentation that propels further discussion (no yes/no questions)
and answer all questions asked of you fully.
• The goal of these written assignments is to increase your ability to form connections between the art/design of the historic past, the present, and the future.
Assignment Brief (specifics): • Choose your historical artwork and create your version as a PHOTO (no drawings, paintings, sculptures, collages, etc.). • Follow the tips here for guidance: https://www.getty.edu/news/getty-artworks- recreated-with-household-items-by-creative-geniuses-the-world-over/ • DIGITAL IMAGING (PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR) IN ANY AMOUNT IS NOT ALLOWED. You should be as creative as possible in making your version with what you have at home. • Do not buy costumes! This is not intended to cost you anything to accomplish. If the historical artwork includes a gown, see what you can do with sheets and towels. NO NUDITY. • If you include other people in your version, you must get their consent. Don’t photograph your sleeping roommate. ☺ • Put both the historical artwork, your “behind the scenes” photos, and your final version in a document along with a short essay:
• Give the artist, title, date, and style of the historical artwork as a caption.
• Explain why you chose the artwork that you did.
• Compare and contrast the two images and explain what you did to recreate the artwork. What did you change and why?
• From your point of view in the 21st century, how do you see the images, symbols, and message(s) of the original? What, if anything, does it still have something relevant to say to you and your life?
• How is your image a comment on the original artwork and style? Is it a critique (if so, why and how)? Is it a respectful homage (if so, why and how)?
• Did recreating the artwork make you see anything about it in a different way? How does your photo reflect the concerns of Postmodernism?
• DO NOT SIMPLY WRITE ABOUT THE HISTORICAL STYLE/PERIOD. We already know about that. • Your writing should reflect your opinions, conclusions, and/or reflections, expressed in your own words. There is no need to quote any other source. • Follow the usual format and writing rules for previous essays. • Have fun with this!
