From around 1912, goldfish became a recurring subject in the work of Henri Matisse appearing in no less than nine of his paintings. It is likely that Matisse became obsessed with goldfish following his trip to Morocco where he had observed the locals slow and mindful lifestyle. Matisse often portrayed the Moroccans daydreaming or meditating while peering into a goldfish bowl. He was fascinated by how they contemplated and enjoyed seemingly mundane elements of their reality. For Matisse, the goldfish itself came to symbolise the serene state of mind he so admired in the Moroccans, while painting goldfish became an exercise in mindfulness.

The French painter Henri Matisse was one of the great initiators of the modern art movement, which uses the combination of bold primary colours and free, simple forms. He was also the most outstanding personality of the first revolution in twentieth century art—Fauvism (style of art that uses colour and sometimes distorted forms to convey its message).
