The portrait below is by the well known 20th century artist Henri Matisse. Matisse uses bold, textured strokes of paint at opposing angles to give the illusion of value and exaggerated, saturated colors to further emphasize this illusion. I find this piece of artwork interesting because even decades after its production, it comes across as unique, fresh and creative. Even if I don't necessarily want to use the same techniques in my art than Matisse, his work is nonetheless inspiring because of its outside-of-the-box "embrace the shake"-ness.
