Henri Matisse (French, 1869–1954) Purple Robe and Anemones, 1937

Although classically trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Henri Matisse quickly rejected traditional illusionistic representation in favor of flat areas of vivid color and uneven smears of paint in his portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. He often used exotic fabrics and brightly patterned textiles as compositional elements to boost his expansive designs, as exhibited in this painting reproduced for this 1,000-piece puzzle.

Henri Matisse, in full Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse, (born December 31, 1869, Le Cateau, Picardy, France—died November 3, 1954, Nice), artist often regarded as the most important French painter of the 20th century. He was the leader of the Fauvist movement about 1900, and he pursued the expressiveness of colour throughout his career. His subjects were largely domestic or figurative, and a distinct Mediterranean verve presides in the treatment.
