Sophie Matisse
1965–

Introduction

Sophie Alexina Victoire Matisse (born February 13, 1965) is an American contemporary artist. Matisse initially gained notice for her series of Missing Person paintings, in which she appropriated and embellished upon, or subtracted from, recognizable works from art history.

Media coverage often mentions Matisse's family background, an art pedigree originating with her great-grandfather, the 20th century painter Henri Matisse. The London Sunday Telegraph newspaper in 2003 referred to Matisse as "art royalty", a term occasionally paraphrased when discussing Matisse and her artwork.
