Henri Emile Benoit Matisse was born on December 31, 1869, in Le Cateau-Cambresis, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France. His father, named Emile Hippolyte Matisse, was a merchant, whose family were weavers. His mother, named Anna Heloise Matisse, was a daughter of a tanner; she made hats and painted china. Young Matisse was a pensive child penchant to observe pigeons, a habit which he would reproduce in his later years. From1887-1889 he studied law in Paris, then worked as a law office clerk back in Le Cateau-Cambresis.Art was brought into Matisse's world by his loving mother. She bought him art supplies during his lengthy convalescence from an operation of appendectomy. Bedridden for several months Matisse began to copy paintings. After he was recovered from his illness, Matisse abandoned law in favor of art. In 1891 he again went to Paris; this time he studied art at the Academie Julian. There his teachers were W.-A. Bouguereau, an Academist, and Gustave Moreau, a Symbolist. He also copied masterworks at Paris museums and broadened his mind with such influences as Paul Gauguin, Paul Cezanne, and Vincent van Gogh, whose paintings he bought in 1899. "In modern art, it is undoubtedly to Cezanne that I owe the most"- wrote Matisse. He was inspired by the impressionist's use of color as an element of composition.
