	WebMuseum: Matisse, Henri (-Émile-Benoît)
		Matisse, like Raphael, was a born leader and taught and encouraged other painters, while Picasso, like Michelangelo, inhibited them with his power: he was a natural czar.
		In 1941 Matisse was diagnosed as having duodenal cancer and was permanently confined to a wheelchair.
		Matisse's Fauvist years were superseded by an experimental period, as he abandoned three-dimensional effects in favor of dramatically simplified areas of pure color, flat shape, and strong pattern.

	Henri Matisse
		Matisse never made a didactic painting or signed a manifesto, and there is scarcely one reference to a political event - let alone an expression of political opinion - to be found anywhere in his writings.
		Matisse is said to have got the idea for it in Collioure in 1905, watching some fishermen and peasants on the beach in a circular dance called a sardana.
		Matisse loved pattern, and pattern within pattern: not only the suave and decorative forms of his own compositions but also the reproduction of tapestries, embroideries, silks, striped awnings, curlicues, mottles, dots, and spots, the bright clutter of over-furnished rooms, within the painting.

	Matisse's Pajamas - The New York Review of Books
		One of the great surprises of writing Matisse's biography has been uncovering the lives of the exceptionally powerful women who were his models, chief among them his wife and daughter, together with their successor as his companion and studio manager in the last two decades of his life: the formidable Lydia Delectorskaya.
		Her portrait of Matisse was a preparatory sketch for a lost canvas which we know only from Guillaume Apollinaire's description of it as the avant-garde equivalent of an official portrait, dominating the Fauve gallery at the 1911 Autumn Salon so that the whole room became a kind of homage to the leader of the movement.
		Matisse and his wife met for what proved to be the last time, ostensibly to discuss details of their legal separation, in July 1939.

	Jazz Prints by Henri Matisse at Greg Kucera Gallery , Seattle, WA
		Matisse himself was recovering from a bout of intestinal cancer and, unable to stand, spent great periods of time in bed.
		Matisse had enjoyed using the particularly bright gouache paint made by Linel and used it exclusively to color the papers he used in his cutouts.
		For Matisse jazz was viewed as "chromatic and rhythmic improvisation" and later described by the artist as "Jazz is rhythm and meaning." As a title for the suite, Jazz evoked for Matisse the idea of a structure of rhythm and repetition broken by the unexpected action of improvisations.

	Haber's Art Reviews: Matisse Picasso
		Matisse took home perhaps the first truly modern still-life, with a clash of colors rare for Picasso, especially then.
		Matisse then was still pushing Post-Impressionism to extremes, with discrete brushwork and big splotches of color.
		When Matisse seeks the primitive, he rediscovers the West—in Giotto and the early Renaissance—but at the cost of disrupting his own European tradition.

	Duelling titans at the Matisse-Picasso show. - By Judith Shulevitz - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Although Matisse's stylized nudes and strange, bold colors had already earned him the title of the "Fauve" or wild beast, of the Parisian art scene, he was too reserved to play the revolutionary.
		Matisse studied law before he became an art student; he was poor and married with children and had to struggle for years to find his own style.
		What handicapped Matisse, in part, was his insistence, as he streamlined his forms and sought a vocabulary more appropriate to an increasingly industrialized society, that he not lose touch with the physical world.

		Matisse's art diverged from the Cubist style in his freer use of color and greater attention to the decorative effects of line and pattern.
		Still dissatisfied with the painting in 1916, Matisse turned the blue stream into a fl band, to which he added a white snake (possibly a reference to the snake that tempted Eve in paradise).

	"Matisse Picasso" ArtForum - Find Articles
		Matisse was "cultivated" and Picasso "elemental." Matisse's art was "pondered," Picasso's "instinctual and impulsive." Matisse belonged to a "classical French tradition"; Picasso had a "universal atavism." Matisse possessed an "inner serenity," Picasso a "unique vibrancy and vitality." Matisse's art "sublimated" life; Picasso's devoured it.
		They had just met through Gertrude Stein and were not yet looking over each other's shoulder, but their balding patterns and lined eyebrows are weirdly alike, as if the two artists were already fascinated with their (non)identity, or they happened to be going to the same barber.
		Matisse got Picasso's Pitcher, Bowl, and Lemon, 1907, which laid out the semiotics of Cubism in the rhyme of lemon and jar lip.

		Matisse was “demolished” when, in 1945, he sat listening to his daughter’s detailed description of being tortured to the point of death by the Gestapo.
