It was in Collioure that the sitter for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Young Sailor\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, a local sardine fisherman, caught his eye. In this second version of the painting (the first, dated 1906, is in a private collection), the contours have been sharpened, the forms are more defined, and the colors have been reduced to large, mostly flat areas of bright green, blue, and pink—a decorative style and palette adopted by Matisse from this point on. Matisse also drastically altered the sailor's mood and expression. His stylizing brush wiped off the earlier round-cheeked youthfulness of the fisherman's face, replacing it with a masklike expression of savvy cunning from which a touch of licentiousness seems not absent. The sitter's rather theatrical looks and his colorful costume, set against the pink candy-colored ground, combine to make this work one of Matisse's most decorative portraits in the Fauve manner.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/489994\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Young Sailor II\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henri Matisse","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887704219891,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (39 7\/8\" x 32 11\/16\")","offer_id":49887704252659,"sku":null,"price":2085.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 3\/4\" x 16 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887704285427,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 1\/4\" x 19 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887704318195,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 5\/8\" x 24 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887704350963,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 1\/4\" x 31 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887704383731,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (45 7\/8\" x 37 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887704416499,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 1\/8\" x 44 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887704449267,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (64 7\/8\" x 53 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887704482035,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/YoungSailor.jpg?v=1790478798","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/young-sailor-ii","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
