A lively celebration of rhythm and colour, this poster captures Henri Matisse in a playful mood. Cobalt blue and hot pink set the scene, while citron leaves float like confetti. A shadowy figure holds a golden guitar as a dancer moves across the right-hand edge. The collage feels free-spirited, with every shape carefully placed.
A leading modernist, Matisse pared painting back to shape and colour. Later in life, he took up scissors, arranging paper cut outs into joyful compositions. The offbeat rhythm of the leaves and the sharp contrast of black and white make this work especially striking. Explore our hand-picked range of Matisse prints to bring more of his work together in a lively wall display.
