Still life featuring geranium (1906) by Henri Matisse - Poster

Henri Matisse transforms an ordinary tabletop into a study of colour and harmony. At the heart, a potted geranium stands tall, surrounded by a patterned jug, a small carved figurine, fresh fruit, and neatly folded linens. Broad swathes of sky blue and aqua meet rich greens, while hints of coral and rose add a gentle warmth to the edges of the composition. The brushstrokes remain loose and fluid, encouraging the eye to wander across the scene. The plant takes centre stage in the conversation, with the ceramics responding in a quieter tone.

As a trailblazer of Fauvism, Matisse embraced vivid hues and simplified shapes to create rhythm and light within his work.
