Henri Émile Benoît Matisse:
(Le Cateau-Cambrésis, 31 December 1869 – Cimiez, near Nice, 3 November 1954).
French painter, graphic artist and sculptor. Along with Pablo Picasso, he is remembered as one of the most influential and innovative artists of the 20th century.

I think there is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose; for before he is able to do so he will first have to forget all the roses that were ever painted.

There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
