About Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse’s work is celebrated for its bold, expressive use of color and its fluid, simplified forms that capture emotion rather than detail. As a leading figure of Fauvism, Matisse embraced vivid, often non-naturalistic colors applied in broad, confident strokes to create a sense of joy, harmony, and visual rhythm. His compositions balance spontaneity with careful design, using flat planes, strong outlines, and decorative patterns to evoke a feeling of both energy and serenity. Whether in his early paintings or later cut-paper collages, Matisse’s style is defined by an intuitive mastery of color as a tool for emotional expression.
