A lively interplay of rhythm and colour, this poster shows Henri Matisse in a playful mood. Cobalt blue and vivid pink set the scene, while citron leaves float across it like confetti. A dark figure holds a golden guitar as a dancer sweeps towards the right edge. The collage has a spontaneous feel, but each shape is carefully placed.
A leading figure in modernism, Matisse pared painting back to pure form and colour. In his later years, he worked with scissors, arranging paper cut-outs into joyful compositions. The syncopated leaves and crisp contrast between black and white make this piece especially striking. Explore our hand-picked range of Matisse prints to create a lively gallery wall.
