Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse (1869–1954), a French artist, was a leading figure in modern art, known for his vibrant use of color and fluid draughtsmanship. Matisse's career spanned over six decades, encompassing painting, drawing, sculpture and cut-outs. His work played a pivotal role in the development of both Fauvism and modernist aesthetics. Notable works include "The Dance" and "Red Room (Harmony in Red)," which exemplify his innovative use of color and form. Matisse's art has been featured in major institutions worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. His "Les coucous, tapis bleu et rose" sold for $41.1 million at a 2009 Christie's auction. Read more about Arts.
