Biography: Henri Matisse was born in 1869 in Le Cateau-Cambresis, in the north of France. He died in 1954 at the age of 84 in Nice, France. He initially studied law and worked as a court administrator, but took up painting while recovering from an illness. He studied art at the Academie Julian starting in 1891, where William-Adolphe Bouguereau was one of his teachers. Influenced initially by the Post-Impressionists, Matisse first adopted the Pointilist techniques of Paul Signac. After 1905, he spent increasing time in the south of France, associating with a group of painters who called themselves the Fauves, including Andre Derain, Raoul Dufy, and Maurice Vlaminck. Fauvism exulted in the often counter-representational use of brilliant colors, flattening the picture into planes in a prefigurement of the more purely abstract painting styles that were to follow.
