Maisons a Kervilahouen Belle Ile 1896 — Fine Art

Maisons a Kervilahouen Belle Ile 1896 shows houses set on a rocky coast with open sea behind them. Henri Matisse works with broad painted areas and quick lines, a way he often used in his coastal scenes. The image stays calm because the forms sit in simple colour bands.

The fine art print uses a white frame that gives the picture a clean edge on the wall. White keeps the painted surfaces open and does not pull attention away from the house shapes.

Hang it on a light painted wall above a desk. From the desk chair you see the roof lines first, and from a doorway you notice the wide sea band behind the buildings.
