About the Item
Icarus is an original colored print realized in the 1970s after Henri Matisse.
Original colored serigraph. Very good conditions.
The artwork is from an original artwork realized by Henri Matisse in 1943–44 and it was the plate VIII for the illustrated book Jazz (1947). The illustrations derives from maquettes of cut and pasted colored papers, which were then printed using a stencil technique known as "pochoir."
Here, the mythological figure Icarus is presented in a simplified form floating against a royal blue nighttime sky.
Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is the dominant figure of Fauvism. Driving the Fauve movement was a desire to develop an art having the straightforwardness of Impressionism but employing intense color juxtapositions for expressive ends. Henri Matisse sustained that color could play a principal role in conveying meaning and focused his efforts on demonstrating this idea, exploring the effects that various colors have on emotions. He used patches and splotches of colors juxtaposed in ways that often produced upsetting contrasts.

(after) Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse was born on December 31, 1869, in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, France. At 22, he had given up studying law in Paris to pursue painting. He had briefly studied art at the Académie Julian and Ecole des Beaux-Arts with Gustave Moreau. At 32, Matisse exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, where he met Maurice de Vlaminck, who with Matisse would eventually lead the Fauve art movement. Matisse's work was included in the 1913 Armory Show in New York, and throughout the 1910s and into the 1920s, his work began to find collectors around the world. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, he divided his time between Paris and southern France, producing paintings, sculpture, lithographs, and etchings. Like many avant-garde artists in Paris, Matisse was receptive to a broad range of influences, particularly 'primitive' art, Near Eastern decorative art, African masks and sculpture, impressionist color, cubism, and the paintings of Paul Cezanne. The artist's images of the human face and figure -rendered in fluid lines and flat fields of color- typify these influences. Matisse argued for the prominence of instinct in art production, believing that an artist should not have complete control over color and form. He died on November 3, 1954, in Nice.
