Henri Matisse Lino Art Print (1938)

Product details

A Matisse portrait for your collection

Explore another side of Henri Matisse with this reproduction of his 1938 linocut head. The portrait subject offers a way to build a display around the artist without limiting your collection to his better-known colour-based work. Choose it for a study, bedroom or gallery wall where an interest in modern portraiture can become part of your everyday surroundings.

About the artwork

The head study connects this print with Matisse’s exploration of portraiture through the linocut medium. Its artist, subject and date give it a distinct identity within a collection of modern art reproductions. For admirers of Matisse’s earlier association with Fauvism, this 1938 work offers an opportunity to explore a later aspect of his practice. Fauvism is the product’s saved theme, rather than a claim that the original linocut belongs to that earlier movement.

Make space for modern portraiture

Imagine placing the print above a reading desk, with warm wooden furniture, a softly lit lamp and a few favourite art books nearby. It can create a personal connection with an artist you enjoy without requiring the whole room to follow one style. The recorded black and beige palette provides a starting point for coordinating neutral accessories or companion prints.

A smaller format can join an established gallery wall, while a larger print gives the portrait a more prominent place in the room. Displaying it alongside other Matisse reproductions creates a shared artistic thread, with different subjects and periods inviting comparison. Consider the available wall space and surrounding furniture when choosing the size that best suits your arrangement.

Paper, printing and finish

This is a giclée reproduction of a linocut artwork, not an original linocut impression. It is printed on 200gsm matte art paper, offering a matte paper surface for your chosen display. Select a print-only option if you would like to use your own frame, or choose a framed version with a black wooden frame and white mount.
