HENRI MATISSE French artist and author (1869 - 1954) Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.       - [Happiness] Exactitude is not truth.   [Fr., L'exactitude n'est pas la verite.]       - [Truth] What I dream of is an art of balance and purity, of serenity devoid of troubling and depressing subject matter . . .       - [Art] Whoever wishes to devote himself to painting should begin by cutting out his own tongue.       - [Painting] Last Revised: 2007 January 1 Copyright © 1999-2007 John C.
