In 1899, Matisse, he was fighting for 29-year-old artists, Van Gogh found the work of Ambroise Vollard in Paris. Falled in love In the Arlesia And Arles wanted to buy a portrait of a woman, 150 franks are just offering (then £ 6 equivalent). But the impoverished painter found the challenge to raise money.
For more than three decades, Matisse remembered what happened: “Volard, Van Gogh had a portrait in the background of the Arles woman. It is famous for these days.” This was probably painted In the Arlesia (April 1890) The São Paulo, although it can now be a similar version that can be found in the Moderna Nazionale d’art of Rome.
In 1899, Matisse wrote to his younger brother to ask for help: “If you want to use your savings to buy a painting of a painting. It is very beautiful and very beautiful.” August replied: “I can’t, I just bought a acatene.” Acatène was one of the last bikes, cost about 500 francs.
Somehow Matisse managed to collect 150 Franks In the ArlesiaReturning to Vollard’s gallery six weeks later. For now, however, the preservative seller raised the price of 450 francs, beyond the artist’s means.
Vollard explained Matisse desperate: “The picture does not have a fixed value. I have a picture here and usually do 500 franks like someone like Monsieur de Camondo [a very wealthy collector] It arrives and gives interest in that. My picture immediately rises between 500 and 5,000 francs. “
