Painting
H enri Matisse, a leading force of modern art and founding figure of Fauvism, transformed vibrant color and bold form into a signature style that reshaped 20th-century aesthetics—from early radical experiments to his iconic late-career cut-outs. His works, held in top museums worldwide, remain highly collectible, with a historically strong and reliable market performance.
