Matisse - the master when it comes to economy of style

"I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my own work to have the lightness and joyfulness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost. So I am afraid that the young, seeing in my work only the apparent facility and negligence in the drawing, will use this as an excuse for dispensing with certain efforts which I believe necessary" (Henri Matisse)
