Description
Baigneuse au collier
linocut
title inscribed (in another's hand) verso
248 x 181mm
Note: Matisse wrote in relation to the medium: "I have often thought that this medium [linocutting] is very similar to the movement of the bow over a violin... The gouge, like the bow, is directly linked to the feelings of the artist. The least distraction during the drawing of a line leads involuntarily to a change of pressure in the fingers which inevitably alters the stroke. Similarly the fingers holding the bow only have to be tightened a little for the sound of the violin to change..."
Provenance: Collection of Tanya Ashken and John Drawbridge.
