‘Blue Nude II’ by Henri Matisse, 1952. Matisse’s Blue Nudes is a series of four lithographs of nude female figures made using his cut-out technique in blue painted paper. The Blue Nudes exemplify the last stage of Matisse’s life and the culmination of his life-long artistic quest. Restricted by his physical condition after his surgery for stomach cancer, the French artist began creating art by cutting and painting sheets of paper by hand and supervised the creation of the lithographs until his death in 1954. #objet_d_emotion⁠.⁠.⁠.⁠#valerydemure#jewellery#fashionjewelry#finejewellery#contemporarydesign#jewelry#finejewelry#art#modernart#sculpture#luxury#objetdemotion#handmade#instagood#designerjewellery#fashionjewellery#fineart#jewellerycollector#jewelrycollector#preciousstone#diamonds#silver#abstractart#jewel#jewels#artisan#abstract#craftsmanship#henrimatisse
