Today is the birthday of Henri Matisse (December 31, 1869 – November 3, 1954), master draughtsman, printmaker, sculptor, and painter. He was known for his use of colour and his fluid, brilliant and original draughtsmanship
"Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us." - Henri Matisse
"A picture must possess a real power to generate light, and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light, or rather in light." - Henri Matisse
"An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language." - Henri Matisse
Today is the birthday of Paul Klee (December 18, 1879 – June 29, 1940), painter, draughtsman, printmaker, teacher and writer. He wrote extensively about color theory.
"The more horrifying this world becomes, the more art becomes abstract; while a world at peace produces realistic art." - Paul Klee
"I cannot be grasped in the here and now. For I reside just as much with the dead as with the unborn. Somewhat closer to the heart of creation than usual. But not nearly close enough." - Paul Klee
"Art should be like a holiday: something to give a man the opportunity to see things differently and to change his point of view." - Paul Klee
Today is the birthday of Edvard Munch (December 12, 1863 – January 23, 1944), Symbolist painter and printmaker.
Edvard Munch is best known for The Scream. It is one of the most recognizable paintings in the art world and has been widely interpreted as representing the universal anxiety of modern man.
Edvard Munch created several versions of The Scream in various media. The Munch Museum holds one of two painted versions (1910) and one pastel. The National Gallery of Norway holds the other painted version (1893). A fourth version, in pastel, is owned by Norwegian billionaire Petter Olsen.
