Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse was a French artist known for his vibrant use of color and innovative forms. A leading figure in modern art, he co-founded the Fauvism movement, which emphasized bold, unnatural colors and emotional expression over realistic representation. Matisse’s work includes paintings, collages, and sculptures, reflecting his fascination with beauty and harmony. Notable for his fluid lines and simplified shapes, he sought to evoke emotion rather than depict reality accurately. His legacy continues to influence artists today, celebrating creativity and the expressive power of color.
