Henri Matisse
With greater completeness and abstraction, I have attained a form filtered to its essentials.
Henri Matisse
Did not the artists of the great age of Japanese art change names many times during their careers? I like that they wanted to safeguard their freedom.
Henri Matisse
Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
Henri Matisse
