Still Life with Oranges II 1899 — Fine Art

Still Life with Oranges II 1899 shows a small pile of round fruit set against a plain area, painted in the bold flat colour style of Henri Matisse. The oranges sit in a loose cluster on a simple surface. The blue background stays quiet behind the fruit.

This fine art print sits inside a frame with a back panel, ready to hang on the wall. The paper stays matte, so the bright orange tones do not shine under a lamp. From across the room the fruit reads as three large shapes, and up close the small marks become clear.

It fits a plain wall above a desk near a window. The daylight falls on the top of the frame. From the doorway the oranges are the first thing you see, a few steps back the background holds steady.
