Henri Matisse (Henri Matisse 1869-1954) the greatest painter in the 20th century who is good at using colors, a representative of the Fauvism. He is also an excellent sculptor. He is one of the pioneers of modernist sculpture, and his sculptures pursue a simple and strong style. It is famous for using bright and bold colors.


Mattis is a well-deserved leader of the Fauvism. But the period of "Fauvism" is just a short period of Matisse's artistic career, and Matisse's unique style is mainly formed after his period of "Fauvism". When he was a student of the symbolist painter Moro when he was young, he was later influenced by the Impressionism and absorbed the expression techniques of Asian and African art to form his own set of styles. The bold use of color to constitute a visual impact is also this unique artistic expression that makes Matisse's works have their own unique charm.


Mattis believes that there are two ways of expressing art, one is to copy it as it is, and the other is to express it artistically. He advocated the latter. He said: "The most important thing I am after is performance ... I cannot distinguish between my feelings for life and the way I express my feelings." Matisse has been doing experimental exploration throughout his life, pursuing one in color This kind of simple primitive childishness. He absorbed many plane expression methods from Oriental art, and the picture is rich in decoration. In the process of studying Oriental art, he gradually developed into a pursuit of a sense of balance, purity and tranquility from the original pursuit of dynamic, strong expression and unrestrained views. He later commented on his own work and said: My work "looks like a soothing, like a stabilizer, or like a suitable easy chair, can eliminate his fatigue", Matisse believes that whether it is a harmonious color Dissonant colors can produce moving effects. He also believes that the choice of color should be based on observation, feeling and various experiences. The purpose of color is to express the needs of the painter, not the need to look at things.


Matisse engaged in legal affairs in his early years and changed to painting at the age of 23. His works reflect the aesthetic ideas of Fauvism: bold colors, concise shapes, harmonious and consistent composition, and strong decorativeness, forming his unique style of painting. ——That is the simple and clear picture familiar to the world, omitting unnecessary details, and forming the artistic image of the picture with simple lines and colors.


After Fauvism disappeared, Matisse continued his artistic exploration. In order to study the human body with the help of sculpture, he created about 70 sculptures in his life. Before the 1920s, he used various free techniques to create a new painting space. He also experienced a short period of cubism, but he never appeared fragmented objects. He studied how to geometrically simplify objects. On the premise of not changing his point of view, he arranged large blocks of bright colors in an abstract arrangement to achieve an effect that is both decorative and spatially deep.


In his later years, Matisse used color paper cutting to test color relationships. His art is extremely concise, with plane decoration. However, his greatness is beyond the small world of decoration, thus creating the concept of "big decorative art".


Henry Matisse was a master of brutalism in the 20th century. Like Picasso, Matisse enjoyed a great reputation as a genius painter in the 20th century. But Matisse was not a prolific painter, so his works became more precious and became treasures sought by art lovers and collectors.
