He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter. Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso, as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture. His mastery of the expressive language of color and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.<br \/>\nMore info see <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Henri_Matisse\" title=\"wikipedia bio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wikipedia bio<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/artpracticed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/henri-matisse.jpeg\" alt=\"Henri Matisse portrait\" class=\"wp-image-4535\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>\nIf you&#8217;ve enjoyed reading these Henri Matisse quotes, there are plenty more out there waiting to be discovered.
