Authentic colour lithograph by Henri Matisse: 'Nu Bleu XII'. Printed on wove paper in the studio of Mourlot in Paris under the supervision of Matisse in 1954. Posthumously published in a special edition of the art magazine Verve, no. 35-36, 1958: 'Matisse, les derniers oeuvres'. Size: 26.5 x 35.5 cm. Framed: 30 x 40 cm. Not signed. In very good condition. Unique, because it belongs to the last series 'Nu bleu' that Matisse made.
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.
Note about the frame: the frame does not have a glass plate, but a plastic plate (hard plastic).
