M.C. Escher,  ( Dutch, 1898 – 1972) 

Still Life with Mirror, 1934.

Maurits Cornelis Escher was a Dutch graphic artist who made mathematically-inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. Despite wide popular interest, Escher was for long somewhat neglected in the art world; even in his native Netherlands; he was 70 before a retrospective exhibition was held. In the twenty-first century, he became more widely appreciated, with exhibitions across the world.

 Nude seated with crossed legs (II) cut linoleum 1941-1942

Henri Matisse, in full Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse, (1869- 1954) artist often regarded as the most important French painter of the 20th century. He was the leader of the Fauvist movement about 1900, and he pursued the expressiveness of colour throughout his career. His subjects were largely domestic or figurative, and a distinct Mediterranean verve presides in the treatment.

Henri Rousseau

Portrait of Pierre Loti, c.1891

The Dream, 1910

Henri Rousseau is most celebrated as being one of the best naive artists. He was given the nickname la Dounaier (although he never reached this position), which stemmed from a job he held from 1871 to 1893, where he worked with the Paris Customs Office. Prior to this career, he served in the army. During this time, painting was something that he did as a hobby, and in 1893, he accepted early retirement, which allowed him to focus on painting full time. This in turn allowed him to better his from, and create a name for himself in the world of art.

"Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see. " - Henri Rousseau
