Together with Picasso, it is known as the two peaks of the 20th century art world

The famous French painter, sculptor, printmaker, founder and main representative of Fauvism, Henri Matisse (1869-1954), famous for his use of bright and bold colors, created many oil paintings throughout his life.

Matisse's bold and flat colors, unique style of informal lines, witty structures, vivid colors and relaxed themes have made his work world-renowned, and together with Picasso, he has been called the two peaks of world art in the 20th century.

He said: "The slave-like reproduction of nature is impossible for me. I was forced to interpret nature and make it subordinate to the spirit of my picture. If all the tonal relationships I need are found, it must produce from them a lively ensemble of colors, a harmonious piece of music. The choice of colors was not based on science (as in neo-Impressionism). I used color without preconceptions, and color came to me completely instinctively. ”

Although Matisse's work is often crazy and lonely on the path of Fauvism, Matisse interprets happiness with his works, as the art historian Pierre Schneider wrote in his biography of Matisse: "Matisse's works are successful works that alleviate and cure the pain and disease in the lives of their creators." ”
