Henri

Matisse

1869 – 1954

“What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue. The subjects I paint must be beautiful. But I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.”
