| | On the left wall on the painting Matisse paints one of the painting in his studio, he uses a flower pattern which is the predominant pattern and repetition in the painting. | | | Matisse's usual use of pattern is not a prevailing part of this painting as in his others. | | | Matisse uses past realistic studios interiors by Courbet, Bazille, and others, then he merges these paintings with his present, a concern with color-field painting. |

| | 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 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 once said that he wanted his art to have the effect of a good armchair on a tired businessman. |

| | Henri Matisse - AMAM |
| | 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 goal was not to represent the thing, but to represent the effect of the thing on him when he was painting it, and to create the same effect on the beholder. | | | Matisse once told some journalists that when he was painting a still life of oysters, he had to have new oysters opened every two or three hours. | | | One of his methods of dispersing the gaze of the beholder is to place key parts of the canvas at the extremities of the painting and nothing at the center. |

| | Though Matisse constructed a style that was all his own, he revered the Old Masters and the influence they had on how he viewed, thought, and painted. | | | Matisse devoted the first years of his career to still life painting. | | | Soon enough he had his Modernist revelation: "a love of the materials of painting for their own sake." Finished with copying images from the Louvre, he was determined to find his own subjects and express his images with a language and style entirely his own. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | One of the many virtues of "Matisse Picasso" at the Museum of Modern Art in Queens is that it exposes the wrong-headedness of this story line. |

| | Henri Matisse, French Painter |
| | Matisse's supreme accomplishment, which may be seen in all his work, was to liberate color from its traditionally realistic function and to make it the foundation of a decorative art of the highest order. | | | Typical of Matisse's painting during this period is Woman with a Hat: Madame Matisse (1905; private collection, California), in which the sitter's dress, skin, and feathered hat are rendered in an unnaturalistic pattern of energetically brushed greens, pinks, and lavenders. | | | During those years Matisse met Charles Camoin, Georges Rouault, and Albert Marquet, painters of his age who, with Maurice Vlaminck, André Derain, and Georges Braque, were to join with him in forming the Fauve group (see Fauvism). |

| | Art Enemies - The press release that sparked the Matisse–Picasso rivalry. By Meghan O'Rourke |
| | "Matisse Picasso," which opened recently at the Museum of Modern Art in Queens, invites viewers to compare the artistic advances and retreats of the two painters as if they were fencing champions. | | | Early on, Leo Stein made a point of telling Matisse and Picasso, then freshly aware of one another, that an important Parisian art dealer had spent the large sum of 2,000 francs on new paintings by Picasso and the very slightly larger sum of 2,200 francs on new paintings by Matisse. | | | But this particular competition is almost a cliché in the art world; there have been several shows comparing Matisse and Picasso, including one as recent as 1999 at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. |
