SKU: 29185

THE PRINT

Produced in 1952, the Blue Nudes are a series of four collages by Matisse. Until this point, although the artist had been making paper cut-outs for 11 years, he had yet to use the medium for figurative work. The Blue Nudes are a striking example of what Matisse called “cutting directly into colour” and are among the most celebrated and iconic of his works. Comprising cut paper gouache strips stuck on a background, the seated figure in a Blue Nude collage faces to the left of the image with the right arm raised. Blue Nude VI was actually the first in the series and reveals the degree to which Matisse constantly altered the image, adding and removing separate pieces of blue paper and searching for the right image. The paper cut-outs of Matisse's Blue Nude series were part of his abstractionism period, and were created near the end of his prolific life. This giclée art print reproduction has been produced on heavy weight 100% cotton rag art paper using archival quality inks resulting in a superior print suitable for museum or gallery display.

THE ARTIST

The French painter Henri Matisse was one of the great initiators of the modern art movement, which uses the combination of bold primary colours and free, simple forms. He was also the most outstanding personality of the first revolution in twentieth century art—Fauvism (an art style that employs colour and sometimes distorted forms to convey its message).
