Product description
A sudden burst of Mediterranean light floods through an open window, illuminating a scene where domestic life meets the vibrant spirit of the French Riviera. This print captures the 1948 ‘Travail et Joie’ (Work and Joy) composition, centering on a brilliant blue bowl brimming with fruit alongside scattered, ripening pomegranates.
About Henri Matisse
Matisse believed art should be calming, comparing it to a good armchair for the mind. His flat colour and flowing outlines make his work one of the most decorative choices for a modern home. Modernist art broke with tradition in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, experimenting with colour, form and abstraction.
Styling this Henri Matisse print
Blue tones give this Henri Matisse print a vibrant character that holds a room. At 24×36″ it makes a statement above a console in a dining room or kitchen; at 12×18″ to 16×20″ it suits a hallway or gallery wall. The blue palette of this Henri Matisse print pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak; finish it with a simple black or oak frame.
