The Lorrain Chair — Fine Art

The Lorrain Chair sits near the centre with a clear path around it. A chair stands against a plain ground, and the eye rests on the seat and back. Henri Matisse uses firm outlines and broad colour areas to hold the shape, so the empty space around the chair keeps the view calm.

The fine art frame is available in white, wood, dark wood or black. A dark wood frame gives the chair a hard edge, while a white frame lets the flat colour areas stay open.

Hang it on a plain wall above a reading chair, with light from a side window. From the door the broad colour areas read as one block, and up close the line around the chair back shows the hand of the artist. The floor stays visible below the frame edge.
