Henri Matisse leaves the Académie Julian in…

1892 CE

Henri Matisse leaves the Académie Julian in 1892 for evening classes at the École des Arts Décoratifs and for the atelier of the Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau at the École des Beaux-Arts, without being required to take the entrance examination.

Moreau, who had succeeded the late Elie Delaunay to the professorship, is a highly popular and tolerant teacher who does not try to impose his own style on his pupils but encourages them rather to develop their personalities and to learn from the treasures in the Louvre.

Georges Rouault has meanwhile become one of Moreau's favorite pupils, in a class that includes Matisse and Albert Marquet.
