Mattise - Souvenir D'Oceanie - Original Lithograph 1954

Original Matisse Lithographed issued from Verve 35/36 printed in 1954 from an edition of 2000.

These are hand pulled from lithograph stones produced by Mourlot Paris under the direct supervision of Henri Matisse.

Henri Matisse’s vibrant color palettes, expressive brushstrokes, and flat, graphic forms helped define the aesthetics of Fauvism and the goals of modernism itself. The French artist worked across painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, and sculpture, often focusing on simplified human figures and floral motifs. Matisse occasionally incorporated aspects of classical painting into his practice as he riffed on still lifes and domestic scenes. His work belongs in myriad collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, and the Guggenheim Museum and has sold for tens of millions on the secondary market. Matisse’s flattened planes and bold colors informed the work of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and many others. His famous rivalry with Picasso spurred both artists to innovate and shape 20th-century painting.
