Memory of Oceania — Fine Art

Memory of Oceania by Henri Matisse uses broad colour areas across the surface. The eye moves from one block to the next and rests in the open space between them. The painting shows a sea view with quiet patches of blue and green.

This fine art print sits inside a white frame finish that gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. The matte paper keeps the light colours soft and stops shine from a lamp. The white frame edge reads plainly against the broad colour areas of the picture.

Hang it above a low desk near a window that gives even daylight. From the desk you see the large colour blocks, and from the doorway the white frame edge sits against the wall. The open space in the picture stays visible from across the room.
