Pristine

A framed color aquatint Henri Matisse (French, 1869 - 1954), which is entitled "Marie-Jose en Robe Jaune." Proof print aside from the signed and numbered original edition of 100. Printed in 1950. Matisse is one of the most highly regarded artist's of all time and this piece is a great example of his style and impact on the art world. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

French painter and sculptor, Henri Matisse was the primary figure in the group of artists known as the Fauves and a major influence on twentieth-century painting. In the 1890s, Matisse studied in Paris as a pupil of Gustave Moreau at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. His style, deceptively simple, employs perfection of line to suggest the subject and usually, the happy application of bright colors to enhance the image. He is best known for his still life's and nudes. Matisse produced a large body of graphic work which included etchings, drypoints, woodcuts, lithographs, monotypes, and aquatints, as well as many literary illustrations. In his later years, when he was an invalid, he began his highly acclaimed series of cut-out collages which he called "drawings with scissors." He was honored with the Grand Prize at the Venice Biennale in 1950, and has consistently been exhibited in the world's finest galleries and museums. Matisse died in Nice on November 3, 1954. Unlike many artists, he was internationally popular during his lifetime, enjoying the favor of collectors, art critics, and the younger generation of artists.

Henri Matisse 1954 Le Signe de Vie Portrait Lithograph

Pristine

Henri Matisse 1954 unsigned lithograph entitled, "Le Signe de Vie." The original signed lithograph was done in 1946 as part of a 300 piece set that was printed at Mourlot Freres, Paris.

Considered one of the greatest French artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Henri Matisse combines sensual lines with a vibrant barrage of color to create a warm and inviting piece of art. The use of bright and loud colors with a loose and painterly approach to art was through his influence and acceptance of the Fauvist style in which he worked. Through his close attention to detail and experimentation with the female figure made, Matisse is best known for his still life scenes and nude portraits.

Having studied under the great French Symbolist painter, Gustave Moreau, at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, Matisse was taught the technical and painterly approach to art passed down by the Great Masters of the past. Matisse was encouraged to ignite his own individual style and infuse new breath into the academic and technical teachings of the past. "Le Signe de Vie" highlights Matisse's skill at capturing the essence of the individual within a portrait setting. The loose and free strokes enhance the sweet and feminine features of this unknown individual.
