Henri Matisse

(1869-1954)

Was the principal artist of the Fauve group. Matisse was a pupil of the academician Bouguereau for a few months in 1892, and from 1892 to 1897 was a pupil of Gustave Moreau. Matisse copied in the Louvre, and was strongly influenced by Impressionism, and his Dinner Table (La Desserte) of 1897 shows him working close to Bonnard and Vuillard. In 1901 he first met Vlaminck in the company of Derain, whom he already knew. Matisse tried the Divisionist technique about 1899, but turned to Cezanne by 1901-3, painting in strongly modelled form and dark tones to offset the rather superficial quality of Signac's bright colour. The influence of Signac was renewed in 1904 when Matisse stayed with him in the South of France, and this renewed contact inspired the Luxe, Calme et Volupte , which started the train that led to the explosion of color of the Fauve movement. Matisse began collecting African sculpture although it affected him less than it did the Cubists, and less also than the native artefacts he brought back from a visit to Algeria in 1906. In that year Matisse exhibited the Joie de Vivre, which marked a radical change of direction in that it turned away from Signac's form of pointillism towards Cezanne, though still with Fauve color. Exhibitions in Germany followed and in 1908-10 Matisse ran a school which was thronged by American, German and, above all, Scandinavian pupils. By this time Picasso had appeared on the scene, and after all the years of preparation for the leadership of modem painting, Matisse found that the artistic centre of gravity had shifted to Cubism. In 1910 Matisse saw the exhibition of Near Eastern art at Munich, and it is clear that this decorative and brilliantly colored art had a deep and lasting influence on him, reinforcing his Algerian experience, particularly in his development of flat patterns with arabesques, flowered backgrounds, and in his use of brilliant and pure colors either juxtaposed or separated only by thin white lines or contours. He traveled widely in Europe and in 1914 went to Nice for the winter, to remain for most of the rest of his life on the Riviera, where Matisse painted the long series of Odalisque and still-life subjects which are his main oeuvre.
