    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.🌹💗

    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.

    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.

    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???

    • @ArtHistorySchool
      @ArtHistorySchool  4 роки тому +1

      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!

      Weird, I thought he meant dull as in colourwise because the next pic had brighter colours. Lol
