Historical note:
In the early 1950s, Matisse was no longer able to paint due to severe arthritis. He therefore focused on designing gouaches and cut-outs. In 1953, he conceived the plan to publish several designs as lithographs. In 1954, these lithographs were printed in the famous Mourlot studio in Paris. Matisse personally supervised this process. The lithographs finally appeared posthumously in 1958, in the art magazine Verve.
Comments. (1) The frame has no glass plate, but a plate in plastic (hard plastic). (2) Can also be shipped cheaper to a collection point: BE €6, NL €11.50.
