Henri Matisse Biography

(b Le Cateau-Cambrésis [now Le Cateau], nr Cambrai, Picardy, 31 Dec 1869; d Nice, 3 Nov 1954). French painter, draughtsman, sculptor, printmaker, designer and writer. He came to art comparatively late in life and made his reputation as the principal protagonist of FAUVISM, the first avant-garde movement at the turn of the century. He went on to develop a monumental decorative art, which was innovative both in its treatment of the human figure and in the constructive and expressive role accorded to colour. His long career culminated in a highly original series of works made of paper cut-outs, which confirmed his reputation, with Picasso, as one of the major artists of the 20th century.
