Quotes:
Excerpts from Notes of a Painter by Henri Matisse, 1908
"The chief aim of color should be to serve expression as well as possible. I put down my colors without a preconceived plan... I discover the quality of color sin a purely instinctive way. To paint an autumn landscape I will not try to remember what colors suit this season, I will be inspired only by the sensation that the seson gives me... My choice of colors does not rest on any scientific theory; it is based on observation, on feeling, on the very nature of experience."
"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and sensitivity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter, an art which might be fore every mental worker, be he businessman or writer, like an appeasing influence, like a mental soother, something like a good armchair in which to rest from physical fatigue."
