Product description
Henri Matisse painted this specific composition in 1919, a period when he was deeply fascinated by the soft, diffused light of the French Riviera. This print captures that fascination, framing a pensive female figure in a simple white dress against the ornate swirl of lavender-toned curtains.
About Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse (1869–1954) led the Fauves, painters known for bold, non-natural colour. Matisse believed art should be calming, comparing it to a good armchair for the mind. Modernist artists rejected strict realism in favour of new ways of seeing colour, form and space. The original image dates from 1919. His flat colour and flowing outlines make his work one of the most decorative choices for a modern home.
Styling this Henri Matisse print
The purple colour scheme gives this Henri Matisse print a clear, confident presence. As a landscape piece, “Woman” 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. The purple palette of “Woman” looks rich against charcoal, grey or deep green walls; finish it with a black or antique-gold frame.
