Inventor of Fauvism with Andr\u00e9 Derain during the summer of 1905 in Collioure, Henri Matisse was one of the leaders of avant-garde art until the First World War. A painter of color, arabesque and decoration, he never ceased to renew himself, right up to the dazzling cut-out gouaches of his final period. Matisse then drew directly in color with scissors, as illustrated in 1943 by the models for the famous book Jazz<\/em>. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/46838-scaled.webp” alt=”46838″ title_text=”46838″ align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_shop type=”product_category” posts_number=”1000″ include_categories=”279,71″ columns_number=”4″ icon_hover_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” title_font=”Open Sans||||||||” title_font_size=”16px” price_font=”EB Garamond||||||||” price_text_color=”#515151″ price_font_size=”17px” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_shop][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” custom_margin=”5%||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/galerie-institut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/RV-71037-54.jpg” title_text=”RV-71037-54″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”90%” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Boris Lipnitzki \/ Roger-Viollet<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” text_line_height=”1.8em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Matisse was born in northern France, a region with a long textile tradition. He was born in Cateau-Cambr\u00e9sis on December 31, 1869. After studying law, he worked as a solicitor’s clerk. In 1890, convalescing after an appendicitis operation, his mother gave him a box of paints. This episode determined the radical change of direction in his career. The following year, he gave up law to devote himself to painting.<\/p>\n He moves to Paris and enrolls in William Bouguereau’s studio at the Acad\u00e9mie Julian, which he soon leaves to attend the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He failed the entrance exam. The painter Gustave Moreau accepted him as a free student in his studio, often referred to as the cradle of Fauve painting. Matisse met Henri Evenepo\u00ebl, Henri Manguin, Albert Marquet and Georges Rouault. His daughter Marguerite was born in 1894. The following year, Matisse was officially admitted to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Gustave Moreau’s studio. From 1895 to 1897, he spent every summer in Brittany, on Belle-\u00eele. His palette gained in color and light. He married Am\u00e9lie Parayre in 1898. The newlyweds went to London on their honeymoon, where Matisse discovered Turner’s paintings, before spending several months in Corsica and Toulouse. Ajaccio produced in him a “great wonderment for the South”: the generous vegetation, the light and the colors. His painting was enriched by warmer tones. Paul Signac’s Essay, D’Eug\u00e8ne Delacroix au n\u00e9o-impressionnisme<\/em>, published in 1898, undoubtedly encouraged him to practice the division of the brushstroke.<\/p>\n Read the full biography<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” z_index=”500″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1400px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||1px|||” header_2_text_align_tablet=”” header_2_text_align_phone=”center” header_2_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_menu menu_id=”264″ menu_style=”centered” active_link_color=”#000000″ dropdown_menu_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” dropdown_menu_line_color=”#FFFFFF” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” menu_font=”–et_global_body_font|300||on|||||” menu_text_color=”#000000″ menu_font_size=”16px” menu_letter_spacing=”2px” background_enable_color=”off” text_orientation_tablet=”” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment_tablet=”” module_alignment_phone=”center” module_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_menu][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.7.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(216,216,216,0.11)” global_module=”8808″ saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_line_height=”1.9em” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”23px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nWorks of art by the artist Henri Matisse<\/h2>\n
