PICCASSO AND MATISSE ADDED TO COLLECTION
Mar 09, 2024

Works by Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse added to the Villa Samuan Collection.

We are delighted this week to take delivery of three original lithograph drawings by renowned 20th Century artists Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.


In the evocative lithograph "Nue de Derrière #3" by Henri Matisse, circa 1949, pictured here, the artist skilfully captures the essence of feminine grace. The title, translating to "Nude from Behind #3," hints at the intimate portrayal awaiting the observer. Matisse's masterful lines delicately delineate a seated female form, her back turned in a subtle dance of contours.


Renowned for his revolutionary contributions to modern art, Matisse's unique ability to perfectly capture linear form breathes life into this original edition signed lithograph. Executed on fine Belgian linen board complimenting the the nuances of the single-line drawing, the piece serves as a testament to Matisse's ability to distill complex beauty into simplicity. The artist's genius unfolds as he captures the elusive elegance of the female form, offering viewers a timeless glimpse into the soul of his artistic vision.
