野兽派的创始人及野兽派的领导角色。

野兽派主张印象主义的理论，促成了20世纪第一次的艺术运动。使用大胆及平面的色彩、不拘的线条就是马蒂斯的风格。风趣的结构、鲜明的色彩及轻松的主题就是令他成名的特点。野兽派对后来的现代艺术影响仍十分深远，康定斯基、德累斯顿、雅夫楞斯基都受了野兽派一定程度的薰陶。

马蒂斯先就学于学院派画家布格罗门下。23岁，转入象征主义画家莫罗的画室学习。在莫罗鼓励下，他认真研习卢浮宫的藏画。34岁 带有明显“野兽派”特征的作品，出现在他的笔下。巴黎秋季沙龙美术作品展揭幕时，批评家被一幅幅用纯色随意涂抹成的油画惊得目瞪口呆。批评家指着雕像惊呼“被野兽包围了！”西方美术史上出现了一个崭新的流派――野兽派，作为这个潮流的灵魂人物，马蒂斯的大名也不胫而走，蜚声世界。反对者的咒骂声此起彼伏，马蒂斯也遭到强烈攻击，幸好有几个收藏家独具慧眼，大量购买他的作品，马蒂斯一时身价百倍。
