TRANSCRIPT
WHO WAS HENRI MATISSE?
French artist Was a Fauvist- meaning that they used
expressive color (used color to show meaning). He was a painter for much of his career, until his aging body caused him the loss of his legs. This created his famous abstract cutouts, which he is most famous for.
Always pursued expressive color Studied under many artist, including Piccaso
during his visit to Spain. They became life long friends.
Matisse painted and drew from nature. Picasso painted from imagination. That you see in much of Matisse’s later works.

Matisse painted in before his accident.
Paintings were about color and how it told a story.

inspiration from other artists. Matisse became friends with Picasso. You can begin to see his influence on Matisse here.
MATISSE AFTER HIS ACCIDENT The snail His paper cut outs
were created through exploration. He believed it to be a type of sculpting, using scissors and paper.
They became more abstract (another influence from Picasso and the changing times)
He understood how elements worked together and how colors and shapes could come to life in space.

will fit on the paper Begin to understand how size can affect
communication To understand how symbols can tell a story
