(after) Henri Matisse Contemporary Art

French

Henri Matisse was born on December 31, 1869, in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, France. At 22, he had given up studying law in Paris to pursue painting. He had briefly studied art at the Académie Julian and Ecole des Beaux-Arts with Gustave Moreau. At 32, Matisse exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, where he met Maurice de Vlaminck, who with Matisse would eventually lead the Fauve art movement. Matisse's work was included in the 1913 Armory Show in New York, and throughout the 1910s and into the 1920s, his work began to find collectors around the world. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, he divided his time between Paris and southern France, producing paintings, sculpture, lithographs, and etchings. Like many avant-garde artists in Paris, Matisse was receptive to a broad range of influences, particularly 'primitive' art, Near Eastern decorative art, African masks and sculpture, impressionist color, cubism, and the paintings of Paul Cezanne. The artist's images of the human face and figure -rendered in fluid lines and flat fields of color- typify these influences. Matisse argued for the prominence of instinct in art production, believing that an artist should not have complete control over color and form. He died on November 3, 1954, in Nice.

Questions About (after) Henri Matisse Contemporary Art

What was Henri Matisse famous for?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
Henri Matisse was famous for his work as a draftsman, sculptor, printmaker and painter. He is especially well known for his use of color. Although classically trained at the Académie Julian in Paris, he quickly abandoned traditional techniques and genres to pioneer a style all his own, marked by quick gestural strokes and fluid contours. Along with fellow painter André Derain, Matisse was the leading proponent of Fauvism, a movement whose name is derived from the French word for "wild beast." Marked by vibrant hues, Fauvist paintings like Matisse's famous 1906 composition Le bonheur de vivre use wild, active brushstrokes and a palette unconstrained by nature.

Matisse was influenced by a number of other artists, including Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gaugin, Paul Signac and Gustave Moreau. The French painter, sculptor and craftsman also drew inspiration from the flattened forms of figures in medieval and early Renaissance paintings, such as in how he approached nudes.

Was Matisse an Impressionist?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
No, Matisse was not an Impressionist.

Marked by vibrant hues, Fauvist paintings like Matisse's famous 1906 composition Le Bonheur de vivre use wild, active brushstrokes and a palette unconstrained by nature, resulting in visuals like women with purple skin and trees with orange leaves.

How did Matisse make his cut-outs?
1 Answer
1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
Matisse originally used cut-outs to plot his paintings, but as he aged he found it more difficult to paint and turned to cut-outs as his primary form of art. Using sheets of paper and scissors, he would cut-out shapes and then arrange them onto paper or a canvas. He did have assistants paint the pieces of paper in his later years as his range of movement was severely restricted but his artistic vision was not.
