Features: Henry Matisse launched a revolutionary movement in the art world at the beginning of the 20th century. He used more abstract and intense colors in his works, making people believe that color could not only depict objects but also express emotions. The simple and rough shaping of forms, as well as the concise use of color, shocked the art world, and art critics called it "Fauvism." Matisse was one of the most prominent painters in 20th-century modern art, and this book covers classic works from various periods of his long artistic career.
