Blue Pot and Lemon 1897 — Fine Art

A ceramic pot sits near a bright yellow lemon on a plain surface. The paint holds the outline of each shape with simple strokes. Henri Matisse builds the picture around these two objects. The lemon reads as a sharp warm spot against the cool tone of the pot.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The working surface lets the colours stay clean without shine. A light frame sits on a dark wall while a dark frame sits on a pale wall. A wood frame fits beside wooden furniture. You can pick the finish that follows the room.

On a short partition near the kitchen door the pot and lemon read from about two steps away. Morning light from a window lands on the yellow curve first. From the table the two shapes stay clear.
