Henri MATISSE
Widely regarded as the greatest colourist and along with Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define and influence radical contemporary art in the 20th century, Henri MATISSE (1869 - 1954) was known for his excellent use of colour and form of his Fauvist style.
His mastery of the expressive language of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art. Matisse's art continues to beguile not only artists but also collectors and as several recent and upcoming blockbuster exhibitions suggest, he continues to be a favourite of the public worldwide.
