In the work 'Red Interior with Arrangement' from 1947, Matisse used few but strong colors. He believed that if you used too many shades of the same color, you would risk losing the color completely.

Henri Matisse is particularly famous for his use of color and form in painting. In 1890 - after a long stay in hospital - he seriously tried his hand at painting and subsequently moved to Paris.

Here, Impressionism influenced him for a period, but in 1905 he led a number of younger French artists and developed the art movement Fauvism, which is characterized by strong, pure colors.

Although Henri Matisse is best known to many for his paintings, he also worked with sculpture, graphic prints and, in the last four years of his life, with paper cutouts and collages.

Matisse is one of the most influential artists of the 1900s and is today considered one of the defining artists of modern art.
