Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was a French artist renowned for his innovative approach to art, spanning painting, drawing, printmaking, and collage. Recognized as a leader of the Fauvism movement, his works are characterized by their vibrant and expressive use of color. In his later life, Matisse faced health challenges that prompted him to invent new artistic methods, including his famous “cut-outs.” This breakthrough allowed him to explore an entirely new realm of creativity and further cement his legacy as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. This print carries the spirit of his artistry, referencing his partnership with the Berggruen & Cie gallery in Paris, a key supporter of modern art.
