Henri Matisse

"There Are always flowers  for those 
                   who want to see them"

Henri Matisse (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ʁi matis];
31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a French artist,
known for his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship.
He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter.
Matisse is regarded, along with Picasso and Marcel Duchamp,
as one of the three seminal artists of the 20th century,
responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.

 Although he was initially labelled a Fauve (wild beast),
by the 1920s, he was increasingly hailed as an upholder of 
the classical tradition in French painting.
His Mastery of expressive langguange
of colour and drawing,
displayed in a body of work spanning over half-century,
won him recognition as 
a leading figure in modern art.
