Croquis rapide, graphite sur papier, 15 X 15 cm.

Bien sûr il y avait aussi les horizons de Matisse qui peuplaient mes apprentissages...
Les motifs répétés lui servaient de composition colorée, insufflaient un rythme et un mouvement à l’œuvre.
Il avait le sens de la forme poétique.

some quotes from Henri Matisse Bio & Work

"A young painter who cannot liberate himself from the influence of past generations is digging his own grave."

"You study, you learn, but you guard the original naivete. It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover."

"An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc."

 "Creativity takes courage."
