Untitled (Nude Study for Poesies), 1932

From the early 1920s until 1939, Matisse divided his time between the South of France and Paris. While recuperating from two major operations in 1941 and 1942, he concentrated on a technique he had devised earlier, ‘papiers découpés’ (paper cutouts), which would prove hugely influential, and was one of the first painters to take an interest in “primitive” art. He died on November 3, 1954, in Nice.

This etching was for the first time printed by the Matisse Atelier in 1987 to accompany 125 special copies of the Catalogue Raisonne des Ouvrages Illustrés.
Each copy has a numbered justification page.
The preparatory drawing for the print was originally done by Matisse in 1932 for the book by Stephane Mallarme Poesies but it was never used.
