HENRI MATISSE (1869-1954) Considered to be the 20th century’s most important French painter, communicated joy with expressive colors, striking ornamentation and bold patterns. He was originally viewed as a Fauvist, and his early works were exceptionally mature. Influenced by Impressionism and Japanese art, Matisse made color a crucial element of his work, and also experimented with expressive abstraction.He is best known for his still lifes and nudes. Matisse produced a large body of graphic work which included etchings, drypoints, woodcuts, lithographs, monotypes, and aquatints, as well as many book illustrations. His works are consistently being exhibited in the world's finest galleries and museums.Original Limited Edition Offset Lithograph, 1920. Paper Size: 12" x 8.25." Edition Size: 1000.
