On the occasion of the fall salon in 1905, when Matisse was 36 years old, the piece that was shown was titled Open Window Collioure. The masterpieces of Open Window Collioure and Woman with a Hat were shown at that salon once he had completed them. This artwork was made out of broad vertical lines that were executed in vivid colors such as green, blue, purple, and orange. It was more like a beautiful picture frame than the window wall, which was just a minor section of the room. However, the window was only responsible for three quarters of the picture that was available for purchase. An open casement was present. The flower pots and the growing vine were put on the balcony, and then the sea, the sky, and the ships were shown with the most vibrant hues. At a distance, there was a stunning design that had brilliant tiny strokes scattered throughout. Beginning with the dots of green, the strokes spread out to include a somewhat larger range of pale red, white, and blue. With this work, Matisse had surpassed the capabilities of any impressionist and shown the tiniest signs of abstract color ideas. According to Matisse, the sickness that he had when he was 21 years old served as the inspiration for this work. The window that he had been staring at for a considerable amount of time in the patient’s room was the subject of his painting. Open Window Collioure was maybe the first example of the painting theme reaching its full potential in terms of development. Throughout the whole of my life, Matisse consistently favored this subject matter. Considering that the windows took up a significant portion of the wall, it was just a modest portion of the wall. It seemed as if the outer world was a design that was exquisitely ornamented with dazzling tiny strokes. In his work, Matisse said, “My painting aims to represent a state of mind.” An attitude was being conveyed by the window that was open.
