Henri Matisse , a very important exponent of Post-Impressionism, was interested in allowing his models to find poses that were naturally rather than artificially positioned. He said: “ When I take a new model, I intuit the pose that will best suit her from her unselfconscious attitudes of repose, and then I become the slave of that pose ".
