Artist: Henri Matisse
"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter".
"Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence".
"I have always sought to be understood and, while I was
taken to task by critics or colleagues, I thought they were right, assuming I
had not been clear enough to be understood. This assumption allowed me to work
my whole life without hatred and even without bitterness toward criticism,
regardless of its source. I counted solely on the clarity of expression of my
work to gain my ends. Hatred, rancor, and the spirit of vengeance are useless
baggage to the artist. His road is difficult enough for him to cleanse his soul
of everything which could make it more so".
"Creativity takes courage"
-Henri Matisse
