Landscape 2 — Fine Art

Landscape 2 by Henri Matisse stays with a simple view. The picture shows a few washed areas of colour laid over a light ground. A darker tone meets a softer one and the marks stay open at the edges. You can see the steady hand behind each shape.

This fine art print uses a frame in white, wood, dark wood or black. The wood finish brings a warm line around the soft colour areas in the picture. The dark wood finish gives the washed tones a firmer stop so the open areas read clearly.

It suits a dining room wall that gets afternoon sun. From the table you read the broad colour shapes first. When you step nearer the small painted marks come into view. The fine art print holds its quiet colour balance there.
