Description from the seller
Henri Matisse (1869-1954) – Nu Bleu II
Serigraph on Arches vellum paper with deckle edges, size 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
Dry stamp of the publisher’s authenticity at the bottom left.
Brugière edition, limited to 50 hors commerce copies, after the work of Henri Matisse.
From a craftsman workshop, this proof is printed using traditional methods, where each color is applied by hand, color by color. This deliberately slow rhythm, far from industrial production, guarantees an exacting execution and a richness of material that are immediately perceptible.
This work reworks one of Henri Matisse’s most iconic compositions, where the apparent simplicity of the motif reveals an absolute mastery of form and color. The deep blue, signature of this series, imposes a presence that is both graphic and timeless.
The quality of Arches paper, combined with exacting printing work, gives this proof a particularly elegant texture and depth. Each copy benefits from a unique character, reinforced by the artisanal deckle edge cut.
Work in perfect condition, never framed, photo with framing for example.
Careful shipping with secure packaging, international tracking, insurance and fast delivery.
