Creativity takes courage Henri Matisse
What I dream of, wrote Matisse, is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or disturbing subject matter.
Henri
Matisse 'Widely recognised as one of the greatest and most diverse printmakers of the 20th century'
Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was involved with printmaking for more than ďŹ fty years. For Matisse printmaking was a personal process, an extension of drawing, and a means of unwinding after long and intense periods of painting. The intimate nature of Matisse's printmaking is evident in his choice of subjects, which were mostly portraits of friends, family, and fellow artists, as well as images of female ďŹ gures and nudes. Matisse's prints were often executed on a small scale with linear uidity, giving them a sense of immediacy and spontaneity, like pages in a sketchbook. From 1900 until his death in 1954 he completed more than eight hundred etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, linocuts, and monotypes. He is widely recognised as one of the greatest and most diverse printmakers of the 20th century.
