Henri Matisse. Title “Blue Nude IV, Spring 1952”. Signed and dated in the plate. Authorized color offset lithograph, produced with premium matte (non-reflective) finish and with high color intensity. Condition: the work is in excellent condition. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a French painter, recognized as one of the great artists of the 20th century alongside Pablo Picasso. Born in Cateau-Crouais, Matisse began painting during a recovery period in 1890 and decided to become an artist, despite his parents’ opposition. He studied at the Julian School and the School of Fine Arts in Paris, where he took lessons from the Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau. Matisse is known for his innovative use of color and form in his paintings, sculptures and drawings. He was one of the leaders of the Fauvist movement, characterized by the use of pure colors and a presentation of the intensity of emotions. His work is based on simplification, stylization and synthesis. Regarding the value of his works, purchase prices range from 150,000 to 300,000 euros for an early Fauvist Matisse painting, while Fauvist canvases and Orientalist portraits from the 1920s and 1930s can reach between 1 and 5 million euros. Henri Matisse's series of nudes was inspired by his collection of African sculptures and a trip he made in 1930 to Tahiti, the largest island of French Polynesia. Twenty years later, Matisse combined his African fascination with his Polynesian travels to create these iconic works of art. Matisse is known for his ability to achieve enormous expressiveness with minimal lines and bold colors. In this specific work you can see some characteristic elements of his later style.
