Born in France in 1869, Henri Matisse is a giant of modern art. With a career spanning over half a century, his style evolved from paintings influenced by Impressionism, to boldly coloured works in the Fauvist style and eventually to his unique paper cut-outs, which are considered some of the most iconic works of the last century.
Political science is a branch of the social sciences that is mainly practiced in the United States and United Kingdom. It is the analysis, description, and prediction of political behavior, political systems and politics. Another way of describing this field is calling it what politicians study in college..
