Henri Matisse was one of the central figures of French modern art, known especially for his mastery of color and his fluid line in drawing. Although he worked as a draftsman, printmaker and sculptor, it was his painting—characterized by the use of pure colors and decisive compositions—that established his international reputation. Initially associated with Fauvism, Matisse developed an approach that reconciled innovation with respect for classical tradition, maintaining decisive influence for more than half a century. His career included travels and crucial encounters—from the discovery of Impressionism and the lessons of John Peter Russell to his admiration for Cézanne, Van Gogh and Turner—that shaped his approach to color and pictorial structure. In the 1910s and 1920s he published theoretical principles and ran an academy, contributing to the education of generations of artists. From the south of France to exhibitions in New York, Moscow and Berlin, Matisse left a broad legacy: paintings, prints, sculptures, stage designs and the famous cut-outs developed in his maturity. His work influenced both the avant-garde and the public appreciation of artistic modernity.
