Note: "Four days after arriving in Collioure in the Pyrenees-Orientales region of the south of France, in May 1905, Henri Matisse described in a letter to a friend how he had met a local artist, "un peintre des indépendants, ami de [Maximilien] Luce, qui s'appelle Terrus et qui est très agréable de compagnie".
Etienne Terrus (1857-1922) was born in Elne, near Perpignan; apart from a brief period spent studying art in Paris in the 1880s, he remained in the town all his life, never achieving the fame of the artists who knew him, including not only Matisse and Luce, but Picasso, Derain, Maillol and Vlaminck. Matisse freely admitted to having been influenced by Terrus, through an exchange of correspondence which began that summer and continued until 1917; the impact of this obscure painter on all the Fauves may have been critical to the formulation of their breakthrough innovations in 1905." -Sotheby's New York, 2006Condition
