Born at Cateau-Cambresis in the north of France, Henri Matisse
(1869-1954) is called one of the twentieth century's greatest
artists. Matisse studied law before discovering his talent for
painting, studing, unofficially, at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in
Paris. His early work was more traditional. A leading member of
the "Fauves"--the wild beasts--a group of avant-garde
artists who used bright colors and turbulent brush strokes to
compose their paintings, it was the turn of the century before he
achieved his own style and voice. His most important works,
including some incredibly rich portraits of women, were created
between 1916 and 1930 . For his insightful represetnations of
women, we honor him .
