 Art Brokerage 1869-1954 - Artist Henri Matisse was born in Le Cateau-Cambrésis in northern France on December 31, 1869. The son of a middle-class family, he studied and began to practice law. In 1890, however, while recovering slowly from an attack of appendicitis, he became intrigued by the practice of painting. In 1892, having given up his law career, he went to Paris to study art formally. From the 1920s until his death, Matisse spent much time in the south of France, particularly Nice, painting local scenes with a thin, fluid application of bright color. In his old age, he was commissioned to design the decoration of the small Chapel of Saint-Marie du Rosaire at Vence (near Cannes), which he completed between 1947 and 1951. Often bedridden during his last years, he occupied himself with decoupage, creating works of brilliantly colored paper cutouts arranged casually, but with an unfailing eye for design, on a canvas surface.

Limited Edition Print
Etching on Chine Applique
1916 | | Hand Signed | Signed by the artist and numbered in ink | Edition # | 12/15 | | Provenance & Extra Info | Title: Emma L , Masque (s.6669) With full margins. Size: 90 x 65 mms (Plate size) ; 28 0 x 185 mms (paper size) Reference: Duthuit - Matisse 76 Provenance: The stock of Henri M Petiet, Paris. The dealers stamp H.M.P in an oval, verso.This early and rare etching was a portrait of a very young girl. In the seven years after his woodcuts of 1906 Matisse had made very few prints but in 1914 he turned back to printmaking with enthusiasm making about 8 or 9 lithographs, over 60 etchings and about 9 monotypes. Matisse’s depression of spirit caused by the war may have led him to work on a smaller scale then before, just as it caused him to renew his interest in music and the violin. Most of the etchings of this period are portraits of his friends. They include Mdme Derain, Mme Galanis, Mme Gris, all wives of artists, Mme La Forge, Mme Vignier and her little daughter, Irene, who was the subject of an etching and 6 others in a series. Some of these may have been commissioned and some of the subjects may have been paid sitters. Possibly Matisse planned to publish the series, or a selection from it, in an album but in the end they were all created in small editions of 5 to 15 proofs. Emma L was the subject of many monotypes by Matisse (Numbers 364 - 377), a number of drawings and several , etchings.
