Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse was a French artist known for his bold use of color and innovative style. He was one of the most influential painters of the Fauvist movement and a major figure in the modern art world, shaping the trajectory of 20th-century visual arts. Matisse’s works celebrated bright bold colors, flattened forms and decorative pattern. After relocating to Nice on the French Rivera in 1917, he adopted a more relaxed style of painting and later adopted a bold simplification of form. In his final years when health prevented him from painting, Matisse created some of his most iconic work in the form of cut paper collage.
