What comes to your mind when you think of 20th-century art? The term ‘modern art’ flashed through your mind? Brilliant!
\nWithout any doubt, the incredible work of modern artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol and many more had (and, of course, still have!) a major influence on contemporary art, design as well as architecture. Not only for that reason, but also because of their individual work these artists have became known as the modern masters of the 20th century<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The French artist Henri Emile Beno\u00eet Matisse<\/a>, also simply known as Henri Matisse, began his career in art at the very young age of 20 in 1889.
\nWith a background in law, the young man discovered his true passion right after finishing school. Thankfully he did not further perceive a career in law because otherwise we would have never seen his colourful paintings!<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the moment I held the box of colors in my hands, I knew this was my life. I threw myself into it like a beast that plunges towards the thing it loves.\u201d – Matisse<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
