Open Window by Henri Matisse (hand-painted reproductions)

Our artists create HAND-PAINTED REPRODUCTIONS of the "Old World Masters" like Henri Matisse.  (Oil painting on a stretched linen canvas)

Henri Matisse is one of the undisputed masters of 20th-century art, was a French artist, known for his use of color and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter. Matisse is commonly regarded, along with Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, as one of the three artists who helped to define the revolutionary developments.

The effect is one of spontaneity, although the works reveal a calculated assimilation of techniques from postimpressionism and neo-impressionism. Open Window represents the very inception of the new manner in Matisse's art. It was painted in Collioure, a small town on the Mediterranean coast of France to which Matisse traveled with Derain in the summer of 1905.
