Self-portrait in a striped T-shirt (1906) by Henri Matisse - Poster

A steady gaze, brisk brushstrokes, and bold colour define this self-portrait by Henri Matisse. The face emerges through planes of cool greens and blues, bordered by earthy browns and a dash of red at the striped collar. Created during his early Fauvist phase, the piece explores light with assured simplicity. It carries both sharpness and warmth in equal measure.

Design insights: the diagonal neckline introduces a dynamic flow, the cropped framing sharpens the focus, and the layered brushstrokes bring texture and vitality to the surface. For a softer touch, pair it with natural wood frames; for a striking contrast, opt for black framing. It stands strong on its own but also complements a grouping of abstracts that echo its lively spirit.
