La Sieste 1938 by Henri Matisse Poster

Reproduction of an original graphic print by Henri Matisse depicting a woman, likely a model or one of Matisse's assistants, reclining on a black and white striped chaise longue or daybed. The woman's eyes are closed, indicating that she is resting or sleeping. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a French artist known for his innovative use of colour and form in painting and sculpture. He was a leading figure in the Fauvism art movement, which emphasised vibrant colours and bold brushstrokes, and later in his career, he became known for his paper cutouts. Matisse's work often featured simplified forms and decorative patterns, and he was particularly interested in the interplay of shapes and colours. The web image shows a watermark in the shape of a P which isn't included on the printed poster. This poster is printed by a third-party provider (Rosenstiels) on 250gsm coated art paper, which differs from other prints in our shop. La Sieste, 1938 by Henri Matisse has a built-in white border that frames the motif elegantly.
