(*) Henri Matisse was born in 1869 in Cateau-Cambresis (France). Like Pierre Bonnard, Matisse studied Law. He began painting in 1890 and attended classes at the Académie Julian (1891-1892). He enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1892 and joined Gustave Moreau's studio. The landscapes and still lifes he painted in that period are of classical style, yet color is of preeminent importance. His first solo exhibition took place in 1904. The year before, Matisse had co-founded the Salon d'Automne and was an integral part of the group “La cage aux fauves” in 1905. Matisse is the one who truly led the Fauvism movement that caused such a scandal; the artist applies bright, flat colors on the canvas that translate the intensity of his emotions, simplifies forms and outlines them with a black contour. Trips to sunny countries (Corsica, southern France, Algeria, Spain, Tahiti…) confirm his tendency to privilege color. Matisse painted landscapes, portraits, and still lifes with figures. In 1907, the artist opened a painting school, the Matisse Academy, in his own Paris studio. In 1910 he published “Notes of a Painter” in which he states: “what I chiefly seek is expression.” The arabesque is among the motifs of this expression around 1910. He painted interiors, workshops, nudes. His free treatment of color and form provoked scandal at the Armory Show in which he participated in 1913. After the end of World War I, Matisse devoted himself to depictions of female figures, odalisques posing for him in colored iridescent settings with arabesque and floral motifs. Matisse settled in Nice in 1921, where he would live until the end of his life. Matisse drew series, engraved, illustrated, created frescoes, designed theater decor and costumes, sculpted busts and female nudes, painted and entered a new phase of experimentation from 1947: cutting and pasting papers with washes of gouache; the artist’s work became more abstract. Matisse created the album “Jazz” in 1947 and another series of “Interior” according to the same scheme. Matisse died in Nice in 1954.
