Matisse was one of the main artists who helped to create modern art early in the 20th century.[1][2][3][4]

"Matisse created brilliantly colored canvases structured by color applied in a variety of brushwork, ranging from thick impasto [thick paint] to flat areas of pure pigment, sometimes accompanied by a sinuous, arabesque-like line.

[This was] the first of the avant-garde movements (–7), named "Fauvism" by a contemporary art critic, referring to its use of arbitrary combinations of bright colors and energetic brushwork to structure the composition".[5]

Although he was initially called a Fauve (wild beast), he painted many traditional themes.

He painted from life, and his work includes many portraits and other figurative subjects.[6] His mastery of the expressive language of form and color, in work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.[5]

Matisse died of a heart attack in Nice, Alpes-Maritimes.
