Born in 1869, French artist Matisse revolutionized modern art in the early 20th century. His work made use of vibrant colours, simple forms and, eventually, collage works, forgoing traditional realism in favour of using colour as its own form of independent expression. Works such as The Dance,The Snail and Blue Nudes continue to spark feelings of joy and creative innocence, remaining massively popular today and ensuring Matisse is an enduring figure in art.
