Num dos seus quadros mais conhecidos, A Dança de 1910, cinco figuras cor-de-rosa dançam alegremente, formando um circulo. Elas viram o corpo de um lado para o outro, embrenhadas no ritmo da dança. Parecem mover-se tão depressa que a mão esquerda da mulher no centro do quadro e em primeiro plano se soltou. O esquema de cores vivas e a liberdade expressiva das mulheres enquadram-se na gama de cores e no hedonismo descomprometido próprios do Fauvismo, de que Matisse foi o expoente máximo. "Fauve" significa «animal selvagem» e foi um termo aplicado depreciativamente à obra de Matisse., por parte de um crítico de arteindignado com a utilização das cores garridas. O seu fascínio pela arte e pelos téxteis do Próximo Oriente deu origem a um estilo exótico decorativo, que muitas vezes imcorporava superfícies fortemente padronizadas. Junto com Picasso, Matisse é considerado por muitos o grande génio artístico do século XX. O uso revolucionário que deu à cor para evocar emoções inspiraria as gerações de pintores que se seguiram. Henri Matisseem Le Cateau-Cambrésis, França, em 1869 e morreu em Nice em 1954.

Henri-Emile-Benoît Matisse was born on December 31, 1869, in Le Cateau–Cambrésis, France. He grew up at Bohain-en-Vermandois and studied law in Paris from 1887 to 1888. By 1891, he had abandoned law and started to paint. In Paris, Matisse studied art briefly at the Académie Julian and then at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts with Gustave Moreau. In 1901, Matisse exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris and met another future leader of the Fauve movement, Maurice de Vlaminck. His first solo show took place at the Galerie Vollard in 1904. Both Leo and Gertrude Stein, as well as Etta and Claribel Cone, began to collect Matisse’s work at that time. Like many avant-garde artists in Paris, Matisse was receptive to a broad range of influences. He was one of the first painters to take an interest in “primitive” art. Matisse abandoned the palette of the Impressionists and established his characteristic style, with its flat, brilliant color and fluid line. His subjects were primarily women, interiors, and still lifes. In 1913, his work was included in the Armory Show in New York. By 1923, two Russians, Sergei Shchukin and Ivan Morosov, had purchased nearly 50 of his paintings. From the early 1920s until 1939, Matisse divided his time primarily between the South of France and Paris. During this period, he worked on paintings, sculptures, lithographs, and etchings, as well as on murals for the Barnes Foundation, Merion, Pennsylvania, designs for tapestries, and set and costume designs for Léonide Massine’s ballet Rouge et noir. While recuperating from two major operations in 1941 and 1942, Matisse concentrated on a technique he had devised earlier: papiers découpés (paper cutouts). Jazz, written and illustrated by Matisse, was published in 1947; the plates are stencil reproductions of paper cutouts. In 1948, he began the design for the decoration of Chapelle du Rosaire at Vence, which was completed and consecrated in 1951. The same year, a major retrospective of his work was presented at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and then traveled to Cleveland, Chicago, and San Francisco. In 1952, the Musée Matisse was inaugurated at the artist’s birthplace of Le Cateau–Cambrésis. Matisse continued to make large paper cutouts, the last of which was a design for the rose window at Union Church of Pocantico Hills, New York. He died on November 3, 1954, in Nice.
