We live in the hope that life will be different. Just a little more substance perhaps in the intrinsic frailty of the days. Such resignation frightens me. Between gunshots I get drunk. In secret, all knowledge becomes anxiety.

About This Quote

During the early 20 th century, Henri Matisse began to experiment with the form of his paintings. The structure of his paintings became more complex and their subject matter more abstract. His new style was called Fauvism. This style captured the essence of his new life through simple, bold strokes of color.

However, Matisse never intended to paint the same thing over and over again. Instead, he wanted to go beyond what he had already created, to new ideas that only he could bring to life.
