Inside a letter he has written for his son of law the art critic Georges Duthuit the french painter Henri Matisse defined the fauvism he has leaded at the beginning of the 20th century as a painting where every colors play an important part on watching. This impact influence the way of understanding canvas and also breaks the space of the exhibition room. The Supports / Surfaces movment and the American vanguard in the middle of the 20th century will follow that. Henri Matisse exhibits in New - York city for the first time in 1922 and he becomes immediately famous because the painters of the both sides of the Atlantic ocean reject the figurative painting. The New - York school or Past Painterly Abstraction painters follow his teatching by using big scale canvas where every brushstroke destroys the one before.
