Henri Matisse was born December 31, 1869 in northern France. His mother gave him a paint box, and at the age of 21, Matisse discovered painting. He returned to work, and every morning before work, he attended drawing classes; at lunch time he would paint for an hour or so, and then return to work. After work he would paint till night fell. It was his life. Matisse began creating paintings using paint and paper cut outs. He produced many paintings and designs using this technique. At the beginning of his career, Matisse focused on painting landscapes and still-lifes in a traditional style.. We are going to look at the Independence encouraged.

In this late phase of his life he was almost 80 years of age he developed the technique of carving into color, creating bright, bold paper cut-outs. Though dismissed by some contemporary critics as the folly of a senile old man, these gouaches decoupées (gouache cutouts) in fact represented a revolution in modern art, a whole new medium that re-imagined the age-old conflict between color and line.
