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. - Courtesy of artfactory.com Lithograph is printed on 13 x 16 inch paper and image size is 11 x 13.5.
