(after) Henri Matisse
Icarus - Screen Print After Henri Matisse - 1970s

1940

About the Item

Icarus is an original colored print realized in the 1970s after Henri Matisse. Original colored serigraph. Very good conditions. The artwork is from an original artwork realized by Henri Matisse in 1943–44 and it was the plate VIII for the illustrated book Jazz (1947). The illustrations derives from maquettes of cut and pasted colored papers, which were then printed using a stencil technique known as "pochoir." Here, the mythological figure Icarus is presented in a simplified form floating against a royal blue nighttime sky. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is the dominant figure of Fauvism. Driving the Fauve movement was a desire to develop an art having the straightforwardness of Impressionism but employing intense color juxtapositions for expressive ends. Henri Matisse sustained that color could play a principal role in conveying meaning and focused his efforts on demonstrating this idea, exploring the effects that various colors have on emotions. He used patches and splotches of colors juxtaposed in ways that often produced upsetting contrasts.
