Along with Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse is widely held to be one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Matisse was born on December 31st in Cateau-Cambresis, France in 1869. Originally, he studied to be a lawyer in Paris, but soon his interests turned to painting. He studied art at the Academie Julian, and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts with Gustave Moreau. Matisse held his first exhibition in 1904. He became a leading member of the 'Fauves', meaning 'Wild Beast' - a derogatory term used by art critics who frowned upon Matisse's uninhibited use of colour. Henri Matisse was also inspired by Eastern art, in particular fabrics and textile patterns, which can be seen throughout his portraits and paintings of interiors. He broke away from the style and colours of the Impressionists, and used Primitive art as inspiration for his bold, colourful paintings. These popular high quality Henri Matisse Prints are the perfect addition to any interior. More abstractHenri Matisse  prints & posters can be found in our Serigraph section.
