I recently discussed how I sometimes have difficulty getting a handle on new and contemporary art. We know from studying history, accepting modern art has been difficult for many art patrons for years. Even Picasso, who later became very influentail in the development of modern art had critics early on. Another example of an artist who had difficulty with early acceptance of his work is Henri Matisse.
Matisse, a French painter, sculptor, graphic artist and designer struggled to earn a living early in his career. Like Picasso, he revolted against realism. He believed that art does not represent but reconstructs reality. At first the reaction to his work was not good. He later became associated with the Fauves and his popularity grew.
Matisse today is considered one of the greatest influences on modern art. His work is represented in most important collections of modern art. There are Matisse museums in Nice, France, his birthplace.
