Henri Matisse - Wikipedia
Henri MATISSE: widely regarded as the greatest colorist of the 20th century and as a friendly rival to Pablo Picasso in the importance of his innovations (one key difference between them is that Matisse drew and painted from nature, while Picasso was more inclined to work from imagination). He emerged as a Post-Impressionist, and first achieved prominence as the leader of the French movement FAUVISM. Although interested in Cubism, he rejected it.
