Henri Matisse Birthday, Date of Birth
Henri Émile Benoît Matisse (Le Cateau-Cambrésis, 31 dicembre 1869 – Cimiez, 3 novembre 1954) è stato un pittore, grafico, disegnatore e scultore francese.
Insieme a Pablo Picasso, è considerato uno dei più importanti artisti del modernismo classico. Accanto ad André Derain, è considerato un pioniere e principale esponente del fauvismo, movimento che promuoveva il distacco dall'impressionismo e rappresenta la prima corrente artistica del XX secolo.
L'opera di Matisse è caratterizzata da un uso ampio del colore e da una linea ricca di tensione. La scelta cromatica, la costruzione ludica delle immagini e la leggerezza dei temi sono il risultato di lunghi studi.
Con i collage ritagliati (gouaches découpées) realizzati negli anni '40 – un esempio è il libro d'artista Jazz – Matisse, gravemente malato, creò un'opera tarda che rappresenta il culmine dei suoi sforzi di sintesi, e che, per vivacità cromatica e decorativismo, è considerata l'apice della sua carriera artistica. La cappella del Rosario a Vence, da lui progettata e decorata, inaugurata nel 1951, fu considerata dall'artista il suo capolavoro.
Le sue innovazioni stilistiche influenzarono profondamente l'arte moderna. Gli espressionisti astratti negli Stati Uniti fecero ripetutamente riferimento alla sua opera.
