Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse (French: 31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a French artist, known for both his use of colour and his
fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter.
Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments
in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and
sculpture. Along with Picasso, Matisse helped to define and influence radical contemporary art in the 20th century. Although he was
initially labelled a Fauve (wild beast), by the 1920s he was increasingly hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting.
His mastery of the expressive language of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him
recognition as a leading figure in modern art.
