Description from the seller
Henri Matisse (1869-1954) – Nu Bleu II
Silkscreen on Arches vellum paper with frayed edges, 65 x 50 cm.
Proof in three color passes, enriched by the use of graphite.
Signed and dated on the plate, manually numbered HC ../50 at the bottom right
Dry stamp of the publisher’s authenticity at the bottom left.
Editions de la Brugière, limited to 50 Not for Sale copies, after the work of Henri Matisse.
From an artisanal workshop, this print is produced using traditional methods, where each color is applied by hand, pass after pass. This deliberately slow rhythm, far from industrial production, ensures a level of craftsmanship and a richness of material that are immediately perceptible.
This work reclaims 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 at once graphic and timeless.
The quality of Arches paper, paired with demanding printing work, gives this impression a texture and depth that are particularly elegant. Each copy has a unique character, reinforced by the artisanal frayed edge cut.
Work in perfect condition, never framed, photo with framing as an example.
Careful shipping with secure packaging, international tracking, insurance, and fast delivery.
