Henri Matisse was a French artist known for his revolutionary use of color and form in the early 20th century. Born in 1869 in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, France, Matisse initially studied law before turning to art at the age of 21. He quickly developed his own unique style, characterized by bold colors and simplified forms, which became a hallmark of the Fauvist movement.
Over the course of his career, Matisse experimented with various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and paper cutouts. He was a prolific artist, producing thousands of works throughout his life, and his influence can be seen in the work of many modern artists.
Some of his most famous works include "Woman with a Hat," "The Dance," and "Red Studio." Matisse was also known for his collaborations with other artists, including Pablo Picasso, and for his involvement in the Russian ballet, designing costumes and sets for productions.
Matisse passed away in 1954 at the age of 84, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. His work continues to be celebrated and studied today, inspiring new generations of artists and art lovers..

I have no words to describe how wonderful an artist Henri Matisse was. I am so heart warmed to know he was recognized during his lifetime for the extraordinary gift he gave the world w/his beautiful works of art. I am glad to know he was able to do what he loved, even when he was frail and bedridden. Rest in peace Henri Matisse.🌹💗
He was one of the great masters of 20th century art.
Same. Outstanding production, Paul, in every respect. Namaste'.
I'm doing this for school and it helps me a lot 😊
That;s great, glad it was useful

Thank you for these "classes" on famous artists. The first time I saw a Matisse painting in the Museum of Modern Art, the Red Room, I had no idea who the artist was but I had the feeling that the man knew me! I've loved Matisse ever since.
He is one of my favourites too.
The goldfish painting has been a favorite of mine for many, many years! Thank you for the art history lesson.
Glad you enjoyed it
Vincent - Mine too! I kept that poster over my bed throughout my teens. His works are just wonderful!
@@isabellind1292 I'm 60. I had the postcard glued to my 1977 high school notebook (art nerd!) The big poster, framed, now hangs in my living room. Everything about it to me is so uplifting!
@@VIncentSunflowers Oh yes, you can never get tired of looking at a Matisse! My eyes light up! His works are indescribably beautiful!😊I'm glad to have found this channel to learn about these amazing artists along w/fellow art nerds! 😊🎨🖼🌎
Thank you for highlighting aspects of Henri Matisse's life and career. Have been interested in his art for a long time.
You are very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Can't say I'm young, almost 76, but I truly enjoy your bio's of artists...I am an amateur artist, all my life, except for a few drawings I've sold....I especially love Vincent Van Gogh and cried at some of of his stories....Thank you...Sincerely, Mary
Thank you Mary, really pleased you enjoy my videos. Cheers
Such a great idea to have this lectures for young people. This introductory lectures will help them to learn amazing things that art can bring into their life.
Thank you for your work in sharing you love of art with all of us. Happy to listen to more of your lectures.
Thank you for your kind comment. I shall certainly keep producing the videos. Cheers
Excellent series of videos! Thanks so much, Mr. Priestley
Glad you like them! Cheers
Best information on Matisse. So short and interesting. His best came at near the end of his life. Indeed, he was the best among modern French artists.
Matisse was a great painter and he did some brilliant cutouts too. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers Paul
Thanks, Paul! I had forgotten about Fauvism. And I never knew that Matisse was a collagist. Keep these coming, please.
Many thanks, there will be more to come next year.
It is just what children need to know about Henri Matisse! Thank you very much! From Berlin with love;)
Thank you too! Cheers from Somerset, England
I know very little about these famous artists. This video just made me go down the Matisse rabbit hole. Thank you for this!
Cheers

your videos are a great help for studying
That's great to known, good luck with the studying. Cheers Paul
Thanks for a great and pithy video. This 77 year old ‘young person’ really appreciates your artist-in-a-nutshell videos. I think that experience of being repeatedly rejected by l’Ecole reveals a very determined character. I believe that comes out in his later art once he’s left Fauvism behind. He was always searching for an essential simplicity in artistic language. What can be simpler than the Red Studio, Dance or his elegant Blue Nude cut-outs?
Like Kandinsky, he was very much on the colour-loving side of modern art in the early 20th century (as opposed to shape loving artists like Braque and Picasso) but they were all of them strongly influenced to new ideas by Post-Impressionism, particularly by Cezanne.
That's a great summary, nice to see a 'young person' appreciating the video. Cheers
Thank you so much Art History School.🖼🎨⏳🏫
You are very welcome
Beautiful video! It really helped me.
Glad you enjoyed the video, and it helped you. Cheers Paul

Thank you
Ever since I took interest in learning art my soul has enriched. Colors, hidden meanings, personal interpritations give additional meaning to visible realities. Your videos have been great part of this journey. Thank you very much
You are very welcome. Cheers
I am intensely grateful for discovering your channel, being that art history is an amazing subject to want to master. I'm not wanting to paint, writing is my calling. Art Critiques, as well essays on paintings, alongside writing bio's of the masters of antiquity. Art/Art History is truly a endlessly fascinating subject. I didn't even mention contemporary art, bringing to the forefront new and exciting artists, that use mediums never once thought of before. All this adds-up creating a informational vacuum within the general public, a need for "experts", to disseminate this vast sea of complex information, and also to teach a public how to discuss paintings, to talk about a painting's strong points, its use of the colors that it has, as well the artworks overall statement and design. The list of topics is truly neverending and could take up a whole lecture on just one of the endlessly great subjects.
Many thanks, I hope you continue to enjoy my channel. Good luck with work. Cheers
Thank you Paul, I am very much appreciate your vedio.

Thank you for thia information. Here in Baltimore is a large collection of the artist's works. They were brought here by the Cone sisters (friends of Gertrude Stein) and can be viewed at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
Wow, that's brilliant. I must admit I have a soft spot for Matisse's painting.

Hey I'm "old people" and I like your art history.
I'm old and I do too. The video is an old one when I was aiming my videos at schools.
great video
Many thanks, I like your channel too. Paul
Thank you for a very informative video. I am more a fan of Matisse's classical work and some of his Fauvist works. I find it fascinating how many of these avant-garde artists started from more classical styles and evolved their works into something very bold and striking.
Glad you enjoyed it. I guess most artists want to develop away from their training and what has gone before. All part of becoming an artist really. Cheers
Gonna watch this again....
Cheers
I'm doing this for school
Good, I hope you learnt lots about Matisse.
lovely video
Cheers
Thank you :-))
Thank you too!
Love to see it
Cheers

- He is a strong, ambitious man. He was born in his era. He was honest to the end.
- Thank you to UA-cam channel and to you personally!

Very true. Cheers
wow
Cheers
Videos for young people??? I'm 52 and watched...I liked it. 🙂
I have now changed the focus of my videos to include everyone, as they were appealing to a much wider audience than I had originally envisaged. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
I called it correctly in my opinion about the influences of Morocco and how he was drawn to Rubinesque figured women. Matisse is one of my favorite 🎨 artist.
He certainly was a great painter.
I hav art tomorrow and I wot an a+ so you helped me too
That's great I hope you achieve your A+!
I got a c+ still ok
Artist in School I got c+ it is ok
Would you do a session on Salle Herman please? Cheers!
Do you mean the Australian artist Salli Herman? It would be great to do a video on him, but I'm not sure I'd get many people searching for him unfortunately. I rely on views to get income from videos so I can provide them for free. So it's going to be the big names I'm afraid.
@@ArtHistorySchoolthank you for a reply, yes that's the artist, I think I spelt his name wrong. Oh well, I understand, I live his art work, but I don't have much info on him, all I found was that he initially came from Spain and he moved here to Australia and I think he must have lived around Newtown and Redfern areas as there are a number of streetscapes done by him and that's all I know. Thank you anyway, I love your UA-cam videos and have learnt a lot about different artists and their genres. Cheer as from Tasmania!
I know very little about him. Glad you enjoy my videos. Tasmania is about as far away as you can get from Somerset in England. Cheers Paul
great great great.....
Cheers
i would click 2 or 300 times if i could. Thanks for the video.

Good presentation. But I have two axes to grind with you. 1) His early work is dull? Really? It would be better to say "In my opinion, his early work is dull." Many people, myself included, disagree with this unfounded statement. 2) Not a word about Lydia Delectorskaya???
Glad you liked the presentation. As you say my opinion that his work was dull initially, is simply that, my opinion. It is not unfounded, because his early work lacked the understanding of colour relationships he would exploit so brilliantly later. His techniques early on were those of the Impressionists, a movement that was at it's peak 20 years earlier. The Ecole des Beaux Arts rejected his work and his application to join, twice, because they didn't rate his painting. Your view that it wasn't dull is founded on what? Secondly, my short video was based on only 10 facts about Matisse. Whilst Lydia had an association with Matisse I didn't think that association was strong enough to make it into my 10 facts. If I had made a full video of his life, as I have done with Monet, Van Gogh, Cezanne and others, I would have included her contribution. Cheers Paul
@@ArtHistorySchool Thank you, Paul. This is all very subjective. No academy and no authority can tell me that a picture is "dull" if I find it not to be so. My view is founded on life-long admiration of Matisse's work, including his early efforts. I grew up surrounded by his paintings. So, when you say that some of them are "dull", sorry, I strongly disagree. But this discussion would really lead us nowhere, so I suggest we leave it at that. Again, it was a great presentation overall. I look forward to your new ones! All the best to you! And stay healthy!
@@vnekliaev All the best to you too.
Weird, I thought he meant dull as in colourwise because the next pic had brighter colours. Lol
