After Henri Matisse

The Blue Nudes, a set of four

Four framed prints after the 1952 paper cut-outs

Four framed prints hung together as a block, two above two, each a single figure in flat ultramarine on white: one seated with an arm looped over the head, one seated with a knee drawn up, one kneeling, one seated with crossed legs. They follow the Blue Nudes of 1952, the paper cut-outs Matisse made late in his life from sheets painted with gouache. The printed signature reads H. Matisse 52. These are prints, not the cut-outs themselves; the edition, its publisher and its authorisation have not yet been established, and the plate is taken from a photograph of the set on the wall. The four are also shown singly, and can be asked for as a set.
