Henri Matisse “Still Life W Lemons" Signed & Hand-Number Ltd Ed Print (unframed)
This lithographic print was made from an original creative reproduction
of the Henri Matisse masterpiece,
“Still Life With Lemons”
Currently residing at The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Reference:
1943. Oil on canvas . 29 x 24 in. (73 x 61 cm)
A wonderful example of Matisse's still life painting at the height of his powers.
It is a work whose color radiates sunshine. Matisse understood that the more
you reduced and simplified the drawing of an image, the more you could increase
the expressive power of its color. He would extract a few of the key colors from
a scene and use them to intensify our experience of the subject. Matisse also
realized that the simplification of his drawing and the looseness of his brushwork
added to the joy and vitality of the work. The tone and color of the painting may
have been flattened for expressive effect but its shapes are arranged in a
hierarchical order to allow a spatial reading of the work.
