Biography:
Henri Matisse was employed as a lawyer’s clerk before switching to his art profession in 1890. Matisse briefly studied impressionism, but under the training of Moreau, he learned to use his own simplified figures and bold colors. His first works bordered on Neo-Impressionism, but as he progressed as an artist, he found that his painting and prints employed different values. After an exhibition in 1905, Matisse and his cohorts were given the name Les Fauves by critics, supplying their movement with the name Fauvism. While battling illness in Vence, a town near Nice, he was cared for by nuns. In return, Matisse financed and designed a chapel. Bedridden at end of his life and unable to paint at an easel, he cut out and painted on paper, gluing and assembling to form his final work.
