Take home this splendid work and unique piece "Fleurs de Neige" by Henri Matisse from 1951!

About the artist

Universally regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century, Henri Matisse defies classification. A pioneer of Fauvism, he transformed a rebellion of color into a lifelong exploration of line, balance, and form.
Resilient and optimistic, Matisse challenged tradition from the start, a quality his mentor Gustave Moreau recognized, telling him: "You will simplify painting." This pursuit of simplification—both aesthetic and philosophical—culminated in his final masterpiece, the Chapelle de Vence, which he saw as the fulfillment of a lifetime of artistic exploration.

*This lithograph was made after the death of the artist, starting from the original plate.
