(*) Henri Matisse was born in 1869 in Cateau-Cambresis (France). As Pierre Bonnard did, 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 entered Gustave Moreau’s studio. The landscapes and still lifes he painted in that period are of a classical style, yet color takes on a preeminent importance. His first solo exhibition took place in 1904. The previous year, 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 headed the Fauvism movement that caused such a scandal; the artist applies vivid and flat colors on the canvas that translate the intensity of his emotions, simplifies the forms and outlines them with a black line. His travels to sunny countries (Corsica, the south of France, Algeria, Spain, Tahiti…) confirm his tendency to privilege color. Matisse painted landscapes, portraits, and compositions with figures. In 1907, the artist opened a painting school, the Matisse Academy, in his own Paris studio. He published in 1910 “Notes of a Painter” in which he states: “what I pursue above all is expression.” The arabesque is among the motifs of this expression around 1910. He painted interiors, studios, and nudes. His free treatment of color and form provoked scandal at the Armory Show in which he participated in 1913. After World War I ended, Matisse devoted himself to the representation of female figures, odalisques who pose for him in iridescent colored settings, with arabesques 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, studied busts and female nudes, painted and entered a new phase of experimentation from 1947: he cut and pasted papers enhanced with gouache; his work became more abstract. Matisse created the album “Jazz” in 1947 and another series of “Interiors” following the same scheme. Matisse died in Nice in 1954.
