Product description
Nestled along the vermillion coast where the Pyrenees meet the sea, the vibrant colors of the Mediterranean come alive in this Fauvist masterpiece. This print captures the intense August heat through a palette of ochre sands, deep violet waters, and expressive green foliage.
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. Movements such as Fauvism, Cubism and Expressionism all grew out of early 20th-century modernism. The original image dates from 1911. Modernist artists rejected strict realism in favour of new ways of seeing colour, form and space.
Styling this Henri Matisse print
Blue, yellow and green tones give this Henri Matisse print a vibrant character that holds a room. In a living room, hang “Collioure in August” above a sofa or sideboard: 20×30″ or 24×36″ for impact, 12×18″ for a smaller wall. The blue, yellow and green palette of “Collioure in August” pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak; finish it with a black or antique-gold frame.
