Henri Matisse in 60 seconds
This Sunday will mark 70 years since the death of the French Modernist artist, Henri Matisse. His work spanned over half a century and developed from Impressionism to Fauvism and further through Modernism.
Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, as one of the three artists who helped to define the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.
Here is a lightening fast introduction to Matisse and his work from Tim Marlow at the Royal Academy.
