Exclusive Posterscape Art
FSC-certified paper
Matisse zooms in so close that the body nearly disappears. What remains is one pink arm, bent at the elbow, framed by patches of red, orange, violet and leafy green, with a band of blue covered in white wavy lines running behind it.
Le Bras dates from 1938, a few years before the paper cut-outs, and you can already see where he was heading. Flat areas of color, outlines scratched into the paint, shapes that read as pattern first and figure second. It is a painting that sits right on the edge of abstraction.
On a wall it behaves more like a modern canvas than an old master. We like it in a living room with simple furniture, or in a bedroom that could use some warmth. Order it in the size that fits, framed or unframed, then see where it lands among the other works in our Henri Matisse prints and posters.
For the path from Fauvism to scissors, our Matisse article fills in the gaps.
