In French art, colours have always played a significant role. Artists like Claude Monet and Henri Matisse used vibrant colours to express emotions and capture the beauty of nature. Monet's use of light and colour in his series of 'Water Lilies' paintings is a prime example of how colours can evoke different moods. Matisse, on the other hand, used bold and contrasting colours to create dynamic compositions. The French language itself reflects this appreciation for colour, with expressions like 'voir la vie en rose' (to see life in pink) symbolising optimism.
