Henri
Matisse 1869 - 1954
As a sick child he had a "blessing in disguise", Matisse
became ill with appendicitis in 1890. During his long
illness, his mother tried to amuse him with a box of paints,
a set of brushes and a how-to-paint book. These art supplies
made him open his eyes to the wonders of painting. In
1891 Matisse wentParis to study art, full time.
Matisse was a master painter, printmaker, collage artist
and sculptor. His use of color and form continues to influence
the work of artists today - one hundred years later. Matisse
was influenced greatly by Primitive African masks and
he was the leader of the Fauve ("wild beast") movement.
