Matisse (1869- 1954) has come to be regarded as one of the most important artists in the last hundred years. He saw himself primarily as a painter, but during a long career achieved a significant reputation as an inventive and original draughtsman, sculptor, print-maker, and designer. He thus provided in his own life an example of his concept of the professional artist as a person who can demonstrate his skill through diversification. He was a modern equivalent of the Renaissance Master, confident in his talent to create works in different media.
