Which of the following conventions of fauvism did henri matisse use it madame matisse the green line

a. simplified shapes filled with bold, expressive color
b. details that place the subject in its historical context
c. outlines around the figure to make it more important than the background
d. a traditional portrait pose

A. simplified shapes filled with bold, expressive color

In "Madame Matisse, the green line", Matisse portrays the female in a portrait pose, using a Fauvist style of painting, emphasizing bold, expressive color and a loose painterly quality. The specific "green line" down her face represents the changing light and contours of her nose. Although she is seated in a semi-traditional portrait pose, the answer is not D because portraiture is not necessarily a convention of Fauvism; this particular portrait also doesn't use line to frame the figure, therefore it is not C; and nor is the answer B as the focus of the image is a portrait and modern style of the era, not placed within a historical context.
