Matisse, French painter considered the most famous Fauvist. He studied at the Paris School of Fine Arts. A pupil of Gustave Moreau, he initially created under the influence of the Impressionists and Japanese art. He achieved fame during his lifetime. Matisse filled his canvases with patches of vivid, luminous, usually strongly contrasting colors, which he often, in the interest of picture legibility, surrounded with a delicate outline. "Blue Nudity" is a series of color lithographs made from paper collages depicting nude figures in various positions. Constrained by his physical condition after surgery and unable to work at an easel, he began creating art by hand-cutting and painting sheets of paper. He supervised the creation of lithographs until his death in 1954. 9390/15
