The Young Sailor II
In the second version of The Young Sailor, Matisse expresses sharper edges, and brighter, flatter colors than in his earlier version of the painting. Painted in vivid pink, blue, and green, the expression of the sailor is playful and primitive. The sailor’s stylized face is a mask, a collection of angles and deep lines.
