Henri Emile Benoit Matisse 2007-12-25 13:14:50 His determined quest to infuse his paintings with vibrant and sun-drenched colours and to explore new ways of interpreting shapes, images and mediums, garnered HenriMatisse
the distinction of becoming one of the most influential artists of his time. He and a small group of fellow artists that included Maurice de Vlaminck and Andre Derain shocked the austere Paris art world with their radical ideas and what most art aficionados considered was their total lack of discipline.
