Flowers and Ceramic Plate 1913 — Fine Art

Flowers and Ceramic Plate 1913 shows a shallow dish on a table with a small bunch of flowers set into it. Broad colour areas sit next to one another without much blending.

Henri Matisse used this simple still life to work with clear shapes and a few bright notes on a quiet ground. The metal hanger fitted to the back lets you place this fine art print straight onto a nail or screw.

No separate frame is needed, so the picture sits close to the wall and the flat tones stay readable. On a kitchen wall at eye level you notice the dish first, then the small flower marks above it.
