Nu Bleu I
Lithograph, 1954
From the suite The Last Works
Unsigned
Paper size: 26.5 × 35.5cm
£750 Framed
Between 1950 and 1954 Matisse created some highly innovative, brightly coloured gouache paper cut-outs. Severe arthritis had made it difficult for him to paint. In 1953 it was decided to reinterpret these works as lithographs. Matisse personally directed and supervised the first 'pulls' during 1954, in collaboration with the renowned lithographers Mourlot Frères of Paris. These prints are original lithographs from the 1954 edition after Matisse’s cutouts.
