Sophie Matisse Biography
Sophie Matisse is one of the most popular and richest Painter who was born on February 13, 1965 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

Pierre was the eldest child of the artist Henri Matisse, Sophie’s great-grandfather.
Sophie Alexina Victoire Matisse (born on 13 February 1965) is an American contemporary artist. Matisse was initially renowned due to the series she created that she called Missing Person paintings, in which she appropriated and elaborated on or subtracted from well-known works of art historical periods.
Matisse began studies in 1985 at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, but she dropped out after her first year. In 1990, she relocated to Paris and attended the École des Beaux-Arts, the same institution where her great-grandfather Henri Matisse had studied. She also bought supplies at the same art-supply store where he had shopped.
The Be Back in Five Minutes series gave Matisse her first widespread exposure as an artist, in her own right, and informed her work for years thereafter. In those paintings, Matisse reproduced the recognizable settings of famous paintings, always omitting the figures; as if the models had “stepped out for the moment”. Famous works of Vermeer also figured prominently in other early entries to the series; Young Woman with a Water Pitcher, The Art of Painting, and Girl with a Pearl Earring were all reinterpreted by Matisse in the late 1990s, minus the figures portrayed by Vermeer.
Matisse is born in Boston on the 13th of February 1965. She grew up at Cambridge, Massachusetts, having what is described as being a “hippie childhood”. Her father is artist Paul Matisse, whose grandfather was Henri Matisse. Matisse was diagnosed with “serious” dyslexia in her childhood, which she cured through her creative activities.

After three years Matisse was asked to leave. She did, however, meet the French artist Alain Jacquet while at École des Beaux-Arts, whom she married in 1992.
