"Matisse’s interest in studies of the figure was always that
of expressing the spatial ‘presence’ of the form. The arrangement
of limbs and torso was a way of creating planes and depth in the manner
of sculpture. At the same time he wanted to capture the contrasting
emotional quality inherent in the model, either through settings or
through texture."(Weston)
Beneath his name, done in his own hand-written text, we see an image
of a ballet dancer, a favorite subject of Matisse, holding an announcement
for an exhibition of his drawings at the famed Galerie Maeght in Paris,
1945.
During the 1950s the renowned French printer, Mourlot Freres, printed
most of the "original" posters of the most important artists
of the day. In 1959 they printed the series "Affiches Originales"
for collectors. They are reduced lithographic versions of the "original"
posters created by the contemporary masters, Picasso,
Chagall, Braque, Matisse, Miro,
Leger, and Dufy. |
