Description from the seller
Henri Matisse (1869-1954) – Nu Bleu II
Silkscreen on Arches vellum paper with deckle edges, 65 x 50 cm. Proof in three color passes, enriched by the use of graphite. Signed and dated on the plate, hand-numbered HC ../50 at the bottom right. Publisher’s dry stamp of authenticity at the bottom left.
The Brugière edition, limited to 50 Hors Commerce copies, after the work of Henri Matisse.
Originating from a craft workshop, this impression is pulled using traditional methods, where each color is applied by hand, pass after pass. This deliberately slow pace, far from industrial production, guarantees a high standard of execution and a richness of material that can be perceived immediately.
This work reprises one of the most iconic compositions by Henri Matisse, where the apparent simplicity of the motif reveals an absolute mastery of form and color. The deep blue, signature of this series, asserts a presence that is both graphic and timeless.
The quality of Arches paper, combined with demanding printing work, gives this impression a texture and depth that are especially elegant. Each copy benefits from a unique character, strengthened by the artisanal deckle cut.
Artwork in perfect condition, never framed, photo with framing provided as an example.
Careful shipping with secure packaging, international tracking, insured and fast delivery.
