Henri Matisse - Sculpture

Sculpture was another medium pursued by Matisse since his early years, and although independent in expression, it was frequently used to find a solution to pictorial problems or became an inspiration to painting. More than half of Matisse's sculptures were completed between 1900 and 1910; he also frequently worked in series, manipulating the form and simplifying it over the years.
