Dishes and Fruit by Henri Matisse Canvas Print

In 1901, this would have felt radical. It still does. Colour is doing the work here, not detail purple shadows, teal walls and mustard jugs pushed straight up against each other. On a wall, it warms up a flat, quiet room fast, and it makes plain furniture look deliberate. Hang it in a dining room above a sideboard, in a kitchen on a feature wall, or over a console in a hallway where you pass it daily. Pair it with stoneware, dark painted cabinetry, linen and older wood that has some colour in it. Don’t hem it in with lots of small busy pictures, and don’t try to colour-match your cushions to it let it be the loudest thing on the wall. Printed as a canvas stretched over a wooden frame, ready to hang.
