description: Henri Matisse (1869-1954), a cofounder of Fauvism, understood the expressive power of pure colors and simple forms. As seen here, his color harmonies can be analogous to musical compositions, complex and expressive. Full-color reproductions and thorough text provide a quick yet solid introduction to this master.
