Henri Matisse - Nice La Danseuse Creole

Featuring his wonderful 1950 artwork "La Danseuse Creole" or "Creole Dancer" created during the "Cut-Out" series, this Henri Matisse poster was created by the French Tourism Office to promote travel to Nice in the South of France. The artwork depicts famous dancer Katherine Dunham who sat for Matisse in his home in France.

Born 1869, Matisse is best known as a French artist, known for both his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter. Matisse is commonly regarded as one of the artists who best helped to define the revolutionary developments in the visual arts throughout the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant developments in painting and sculpture.

A wonderful and extremely rare poster in perfect mint condition, the piece is backed on museum quality linen to preserve it for the years to come.
