	ArtandCulture Artist: Henri Matisse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Henri Matisse made it look easy, but don’t be fooled -- those vibrant, lyrical scenes and simple, geometric portraits which look tossed off the tip of his paintbrush actually took weeks, sometimes months to create.
		Matisse's own career was long and varied, however, and his work traversed several styles from Fauvism to Impressionism to something approaching Abstractionism.
		As art critic Clement Greenberg noted, "His prismatic colors became pearlier and furrier through their juxtaposition with non-prismatic colors." Matisse was, in the end, the ultimate colorist, believing that harmony and arrangement of color was as critical in communicating meaning as subject matter.

	Henri Matisse - AMAM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Matisse's work of the 1920s appears to portray a tranquil, almost dreamy retreat from his earlier avant-garde work; seldom, however, was he more devoted to the hedonistic project he had chosen early on as his life work.
		Matisse rose to prominence and even infamy at the Salon d'Automne of 1905, where, along with other members of the group soon dubbed the Fauves(Wild Beasts) by critics, he exhibited work that deliberately flouted contemporary standards of beauty and artistic competence.
		Despite this apparently conservative training, Matisse forged bonds with independent and radical painters at work in Paris, and by 1905 was perceived as one of the leaders of the Fauves.

		Matisse's early work, which he began exhibiting in 1895, was informed by the dry academic manner, particularly evident in his drawing.
		Subsequently, Matisse's career can be divided into several periods that changed stylistically, but his underlying aim always remained the same: to discover "the essential character of things" and to produce an art "of balance, purity, and serenity," as he himself put it in his "Notes of a Painter" in 1908.
		Matisse's creativity extended into the area of graphic arts and book illustration, the latter begun when he was already in his sixties, with the illustrations to Stéphane Mallarmé's Poésies (1932), and culminated with the cutout compositions (1943–44) for his book Jazz (published in 1947).
