Montalban Landscape 1918 — Fine Art

Montalban Landscape 1918 shows a wide outdoor view with colour patches and open paper. Henri Matisse worked with bold shapes and flat colour in this period.

The scene leaves much of the sheet open and the painted areas sit beside the bare ground. A quiet hillside reading room picture from the fauvist era.

The fine art print uses a matte paper that keeps the paint colours soft and stops a shine under a lamp. You can match the frame to the room, a dark finish on a pale wall or a wood finish beside wooden furniture. It hangs on the stairwell wall beside a narrow shelf and the open ground stays visible from the turn.
