"The master of us all" is what Henri Matisse once called him, by which he surely meant himself, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Piet Mondrian and any of the other pioneers of modernism.

Mooney. “Even to the last moment, people were calling all morning long for reservations.” Christy Leveroni, dining room manager at Chez Henri, a French-Cuban restaurant close to the Quad, recalled business was the same as the last time Valentine’s fell on a Saturday, back in 2004.
