Product description
Born from the experimental gouache découpé technique developed by the artist in his final years, this print captures a rhythmic explosion of color and form. The composition features a central spray of organic, leafy silhouettes in primary and secondary hues—deep blues, vivid oranges, and lush greens—bursting from a neutral cream field.
About Henri Matisse
In his later years Matisse ‘drew with scissors’, creating cut-outs from paper painted with gouache. His flat colour and flowing outlines make his work one of the most decorative choices for a modern home. Abstract art uses colour, shape and line instead of recognisable subjects. The original dates from 1953.
Styling this Henri Matisse print
This Henri Matisse print pairs a vibrant atmosphere with a blue, green and orange palette that is easy to build a room around. As a landscape piece, “The Sheaf” fills the space above a sofa or sideboard at 24×36″, while 12×18″ suits a smaller wall, and it is a natural fit for a living room. Finish “The Sheaf” with a slim walnut or black frame: its blue, green and orange palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
