I selected this article because I really like Matisse's paintings and I wanted to know more about them and also about his biography.
I found a lot of information in this article because, as you can read, it speaks a lot about the use of the color, the artist's life and the critics reaction of his work in that time.
I think the most interesting thing I learnt about Matisse in this article was that he was not only a painter but also he experimented with drawing, sculpture and even graphic art! I really didn't know that!.
Well, I hope you enjoyed the article.
See you next week!
