Henri Matisse (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ʁi matis]; 31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a French artist, known for his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter. Matisse is regarded, along with Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, as one of the three seminal artists of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture. Although he was initially labelled a Fauve (wild beast), by the 1920s, he was increasingly hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting. His mastery of the expressive language of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art. From Wikipedia under the

Q. This is all the info on the bottom of the poster: Henri Matisse/la Ne'gresse/1953/Bal. Beyeles/Editions des Nouvelles Images/45 Lombreuil France/M12/ESPADEM/Imrine ' en France I lost it in a flood and need to give a close figure of what it was worth. I had a couple of people say it is worth a couple of thousand?? Thanks. Asked by Jeannie G - Fri May 25 11:45:20 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. If it's just a printed poster, it's practically worthless. If it,s an original antique poster, a bit of money. If it was a litho, and you have any proof that it was, it can be worth some money (not a couple of thousands, mind you). If you still have it, and any paperwork about it, get it appraised. Answered by francois - Fri May 25 13:14:15 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Henri Matisse" Henri Matisse (31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a major French artist of the 20th century. Particularly noted for his striking use of colour, Matisse is one of the very few indisputable giants of modern art, alongside Pablo Picasso and Kandinsky.
