Matisse
Fauvism's leading figure
Henri Matisse was a French painter (1869–1954) who led the Fauve movement and became one of the twentieth century's most influential artists.
His work emphasized bold color and fluid line over realistic representation: The room was decorated in Matisse-like colors.
A Matisse is a painting by him: The museum acquired a Matisse.
