Bring Henri Matisse art to your computer desktop! Henri Matisse is a French artist, known for his use of color to convey emotional expression, and his fluid, direct and original painting style. As a painter, Matisse is one of the best-known artists of the 20th century. His mastery of the expressive language of color and drawing won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art. Matisse believed the arrangement of colors was as important as a painting's subject matter to communicate meaning. He avoided detail, instead using bright color and strong lines to create a sense of movement. Although intellectually sophisticated, Matisse always emphasized the importance of instinct and intuition in the production of a work of art. Matisse's work reflects a number of influences: the decorative quality of eastern art, the stylized forms of the masks and sculpture of Africa, the bright colors of the French impressionists, and the simplified forms of French artist Paul Cezanne and the cubists.
