Enhance your home decor with this John Lewis framed print featuring Henri Matisse's iconic 'The Dessert: Harmony in Red'. This Fauvist masterpiece showcases flat, brilliant colours typical of Matisse's style and arrives ready to hang with a premium black frame. As a product from trusted British retailer John Lewis, it combines artistic excellence with quality craftsmanship.
Previously titled 'Harmony in Blue', Henri Matisse redesigned this piece in 1909 and retitled it 'Harmony in Red'. Matisse was greatly influenced by the Post-Impressionists, Gauguin, Cezanne and Van Gogh, and was an ardent admirer of Japanese art and motifs. He developed his style using areas of flat, brilliant and often unnatural colour and invariably outlined his forms in a manner similar to Van Gogh.
This Fauvist painting, much like the work of Impressionist painter Claude Monet, has no central focal point. The painting initially was ordered as 'Harmony in Blue,' but Matisse was dissatisfied with the result, so he painted it over with his preferred red.
Presented in a premium box frame with a sleek black grain finish, along with a gallery-finished mount and glass.
