French
Henri Matisse was born on December 31, 1869, in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, France. At 22, he had given up studying law in Paris to pursue painting. He had briefly studied art at the Académie Julian and Ecole des Beaux-Arts with Gustave Moreau. At 32, Matisse exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, where he met Maurice de Vlaminck, who with Matisse would eventually lead the Fauve art movement.
Matisse's work was included in the 1913 Armory Show in New York, and throughout the 1910s and into the 1920s, his work began to find collectors around the world. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, he divided his time between Paris and southern France, producing paintings, sculpture, lithographs, and etchings.
Like many avant-garde artists in Paris, Matisse was receptive to a broad range of influences, particularly 'primitive' art, Near Eastern decorative art, African masks and sculpture, impressionist color, cubism, and the paintings of Paul Cezanne. The artist's images of the human face and figure -rendered in fluid lines and flat fields of color- typify these influences. Matisse argued for the prominence of instinct in art production, believing that an artist should not have complete control over color and form.
He died on November 3, 1954, in Nice.to

- Who did Matisse influence?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Matisse influenced a large number of artists. During his lifetime, his paintings, marked by quick, gestural strokes and fluid contours, informed many of his contemporaries in the Fauvist movement, such as Albert Marquet and Georges Rouault.

The French painter, sculptor and craftsman also drew inspiration from the flattened forms of figures in medieval and early Renaissance paintings, such as in how he approached nudes. Rejecting strict realism, he distilled forms into their essential parts and then translated these into voluptuous, rounded contours. Explore a range of Henri Matisse art on 1stDibs.
- Was Matisse an Impressionist?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024No, Matisse was not an Impressionist. Art historians typically classify his work as part of Post-Impressionism, a movement that turned away from the naturalism of Impressionism and focused even more on conveying emotions through painting. Along with fellow painter André Derain, Matisse was also the leading proponent of Fauvism, a movement whose name is derived from the French word for "wild beast." Marked by vibrant hues, Fauvist paintings like Matisse's famous 1906 composition Le Bonheur de vivre use wild, active brushstrokes and a palette unconstrained by nature, resulting in visuals like women with purple skin and trees with orange leaves. Often, these compositions unite pure color with the white of the exposed canvas to create a sense of transparency and light. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Henri Matisse art.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between Matisse and Picasso is that their work is associated with different art movements. Henri Matisse was a leading proponent of Fauvism, a movement whose name is derived from the French word for "wild beast.” Marked by vibrant hues, Fauvist paintings like Matisse’s famous 1906 composition Le Bonheur de vivre have wild, active brushstrokes and a palette unconstrained by nature, resulting in imagery like women with purple skin and trees with orange leaves. Although his work evolved over the course of his career, Pablo Picasso is best known for his association with the Cubist movement, which he is credited with founding with Georges Braque. In Cubist works, reality gets fragmented into flat, geometric forms. Shop a collection of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso art on 1stDibs.
David Brooker Fine ArtMay 13, 2021If it's an original Matisse painting it would cost many millions of dollars. Even the simple sketches are worth hundreds of thousands and are highly collected. His pencil drawings are the most affordable of his originals and are priced in the tens of thousands to the hundreds of thousands depending on the importance of the piece.- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Matisse originally used cut-outs to plot his paintings, but as he aged he found it more difficult to paint and turned to cut-outs as his primary form of art. Using sheets of paper and scissors, he would cut-out shapes and then arrange them onto paper or a canvas. He did have assistants paint the pieces of paper in his later years as his range of movement was severely restricted but his artistic vision was not. Shop a selection of Matisse pieces from some of the world’s top art dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A Matisse painting is typically worth anywhere from a few thousand dollars to $1 million, on average.
