Henri Matisse London Exhibition

 The Late Lithographs

“Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.” Henri Matisse.

I am delighted to share with you the details of our Henri Matisse Exhibition at our London Gallery on Kings Road in Chelsea.

We are exhibiting the original lithographs from the 1954 edition of Henri Matisses work in our bespoke and handmade frames. These pieces are not later reproductions and should be not confused with modern posters and we are so proud to be able to offer these to our clients. Each lithograph is Signed in Plate and a Certificate of Authenticity accompanies each piece.

Henri Matisse became one of the world’s most recognisable painters of the 20th century completely by accident. Whilst convalescing from appendicitis his mother gave him his first set of paints to while away his time. 

His Blue Nudes series, part of this exhibition, features prime examples of this technique he called "painting with scissors"; they demonstrate the ability to bring his eye for colour and geometry to a new medium of utter simplicity, but with playful and delightful power. 

"Instead of drawing an outline and filling in the colour I am drawing directly in colour," he said. 

Our London team, Ellena, Philippa and Jenni will be hosting our Matisse exhibition.
