Les Lithographies de l'Atelier Mourlot by Henri Matisse

1984

About the Item

Matisse once said, "The paper cutout allows me to draw in the color. Instead of drawing the outline and putting the color inside it, I draw straight into the color." The hues he used were so strong that his doctors advised him to wear dark glasses because they could affect his vision. This lithographic poster was printed in six colors for an exhibition of the Atelier Mourlot lithographs at the Seibu Department Store in 1984. It is a reproduction of the poster used for the Mourlot centennial exhibition in 1952. Certificate of Provenance: Each individual work of art carefully curated by Mourlot Editions comes with a Certificate of Provenance, signed, dated, stamped, and numbered by Eric Mourlot. Stored in a clear protective sleeve accompanying your piece, this certificate guarantees the origin and authenticity of your personal lithograph. About the Artist: (1869-1954) French Matisse studied in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts and became a student of William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Gustave Moreau. Regarded as the leader of the Fauvist movement, Matisse pursued the expressiveness of color throughout his career, and by 1917, he celebration of color reached its peak when he began to spend time on the French Riviera.
