Art One - Blog 7 - more Fauve paintings

Henri Matisse (last week's blog) was the most important and influential Fauve painter.  Although he studied to be a lawyer (and was one for a time), he loved art.  He became ill, and during that time, he began to paint.  He never returned to law.  Here are a few more of his paintings.  Later in his life, he developed arthritis so he cut paper because he could not hold a brush.  His collage work is very well known. 

Notice how he uses color.  Which is your favorite and why?
