Motisse, One Of Top Masters
OF Modern Art, Dies at 81
Member Of Famous
'Fuuyes' Did Not Let
III Health Halt Work
BY she As.oeieted Pres.

NICE, France, Nov. 4.-Henri
Matisse, one of the greatest mas
ters of modern art. died yester-
day afternoon in his apartment
In this Riviera resort city after
years of Ill health. The death
of the 84-year-old painter was
announced early today.
Although so crippled in recent
years he was able to be on his
feet only a Few hours each day,
Matisse continued his art. which
included textile designs, etch-
ings, sculpture and decorative
cutouts as well as paintings.
But it was his fiat, color
drenched canvases, carrying on
the impressionist revolt from
purely represenational painting,
that won him world acclaim.
Color Straight from Tubes.
He believed in the use of pure
color straight from the paint
tubes, claiming the color itself
would add form and compost
ton to his subject. He con-
sciously employed distortion in
his paintings to achieve his de-
sired effect but never went to
the extremes adopted by some
of his contemporaries.
Matisse was born December
81, 1869 at Cateau-C Cambresis in
northern France, the son of a
grain dealer. He graduated from
the local high school in 1890
and went to Paris to study law
at his fathers insistence. He
fell Ill, and returned home. He
took up painting during con-
valescence. with encouragement
Of his mother, an amateur
painter.
He returned to Paris in 1892
to study art.
But he was IS before he first
attracted the attention Of the
critics-mostly unfayorable at
tention-at the historic 1905 au-
tumn salon in Paris which saw
the emergence of the "fauves"
wild beasts, who shocked the
art world with their wild splashes
of pure color.
Among the group were Maui
rice de Vlaminck, Kees Van Dom
gen. Andre Derain and Georges
Rouault.
Americans First Patrons.
The Americans, Gertrude, Leo
and Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Stein.
became Matisse's first important
patrons. But following the
"fauve" debut his rise was me-
teoric and by 1908 he was famous
and financially independent.
In 1880 and 1881 he visited the
United States. From the latter
trip resulted his famous murals
for the Barnes Foundation and
it's eccentric founder, the late DR..
Albert Barnes of Merton, Pa. DR..
Barnes and the late Albert Las
ker, New York advertising mag
nate, owned two of the finest col
lections of the artists work. Z
In 1851 he completed what he
termed his master work"-the

Steel Companies Act
To Maintain Output
Over Holiday Period
BY Tie Assoeiossd Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.--Many
steel companies are paying extra
wages to keep furnaces going
during the Christmas and New
Years holidays. Iron Age, na-
tional metalworking weekly. said
today.
The production dip caused by
the holidays will be much smaller
than usual due to q growing
backlog Of orders and strong
consumer demand for delivery,
the magazine said. The output
at steel finishing mills will be
curbed more than steelmaking
furnaces.
Iron Age stated, "Some con-
Sumers Of cold-rolled sheets and
galvanized sheets are freely
booking orders 40 days In ad-
vance Of delivery. However,
with little shopping around,
orders can be placed for de-
livery in about half that time. .
After four consecutive weeks
Of decline, steel scrap prices
bounced back this week. The
Iron Age steel scrap composite
price rose 83 cents q ton to
$32.8S for gross ton.
Looking ahead, the weekly
forecast steel production in 1855
at about 100 to los million net
tons, Which would place the av-
erage operating rate between
80 and 85 per cent In terms Of
1854 capacity.
1t estimated raw steel OUTPUT
this year at 88.3 million net tons.
equal to an average operating
rate Of III per cent Of capacity.
Last year production was q
record Ills million tons, which
was 94,9 per cent of the capacity
at that time.
One of the big reasons for the
sharp decline In steelmaking
was the large inventory. The
magazine estimated steel con-
sumption during 1854 exceeded
production by Z million tons.
inventories now are low.
