He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and would quickly become the leader of the fauvist movement. He was known for his use of brilliant colour, inspired by his time on the French Riviera, and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was one of the three artists, along with Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, who began to revolutionise the art world from the 1900s. For over 60 years, his vast output included painting, drawing, sculpture, graphic arts – etchings, linocuts, aquatints, paper cut-outs and book illustrations. And he worked with Mourlot studios on lithographs and exhibition posters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henri Matisse","offers":[{"title":"Oak","offer_id":56994059321721,"sku":null,"price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/0911\/9764\/files\/WEB-40.png?v=1776788988","url":"https:\/\/hommage-art.com\/products\/nice-travail-et-joie-1948-copy","provider":"Hommage Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
