WOWZERZZZ its Matisse!

Based on some of the information that I have read upon the link below, it would obviously be about Matisse. Many of you who aren't aware of who this famous artist, this artist is Henri Matisse. He was known for his paintings: Ballerina, Woman with a Hat, Madame Matisse, Dance (II), Fruit and Coffeepot, The Joy of Life, and many other famous pieces. Matisse did not always want to be a painter but instead wanted to study law. He first fell in love with art was when he was working at as a clerk in a solicitor's office and within a year entered the world of painters. In 1896, his debut of La Desserte influenced the Impressionist. In 1891, Matisse studied under Bouguereau at the Académie Julian, and in 1892 transferred unofficially to Gustave Moreau’s studio at the Ecole Beaux-Arts, where he met Marquet (his wife) , at the same time attending the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs. Many more events have happenned in his life that lead to his success and rememberance of his fine work.
