Henri Matisse - Zulma (1950)
Rare lithograph after the original cut - published by Art Value
Enter the vibrant world of Henri Matisse with Zulma (1950) - a masterful example of his innovative cut-out technique, created in the last phase of his life. Despite his physical limitations, Matisse managed to take his creativity to the next level by literally "painting with scissors."
In Zulma, everything that makes his late style so powerful comes together: bold areas of color, flowing lines, and an almost musical composition. The figure in the center - possibly a model or representation of the female muse - is surrounded by shapes that dance and breathe, in a visual rhythm reminiscent of theater, nature and eastern influences.
