Lady in Blue, 1938

In Lady in Blue, Matisse missed the balance he had achieved. He wrote to fellow-artist Pierre Bonnard: "My drawing is what I need, since it expresses what is distinctive in my own feeling. But my painting is restricted by the new conventions of applying large zones of paint to express myself - nothing but localized colours with neither shadow nor relief, that are supposed to suggest light and spiritual space through their interactions. It doesn't go well with my spontaneity - I relish knocking off some vast work in the space of a minute."  100% Hand painted art: Size: Various Sizes Available Medium:  Oil on canvas Type: Reproduction Artist: Henri Matisse Delivery Time: 14-21 days Item #: MATISSE-026 Lady in Blue, 1938 by Henri Matisse can be reproduced with the same emotions of the original masterpiece.
