Still Life Peaches and Glass 1916 — Fine Art

Still Life Peaches and Glass 1916 shows fruit sitting near a clear glass vessel on a plain surface. Henri Matisse uses broad colour areas and a few clear outlines for this still life study. The fruit keeps a warm tone and the glass stays cool and flat.

This fine art print comes on matte paper that keeps the soft tones steady and stops bright glare from a lamp. The frame finishes in white, wood or dark wood, so the edge sits clean against the painted surface.

Place it above a long desk near a window in the morning. From across the room the fruit and glass read as two quiet shapes against a muted ground. Up close the painted outlines hold their line without crowding the space.
