Matisse Self-Portrait – Henri Matisse
Matisse Self-Portrait is a painting by Henri Matisse: the painter with a black beard in a striped shirt, painted in bold green and ochre strokes. We paint our hand-painted study of Matisse Self-Portrait to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 × 50 cm to 110 × 130 cm or in a custom size. Before Matisse Self-Portrait is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.
What does Matisse Self-Portrait show?
Matisse Self-Portrait shows a man with a dark beard and short hair looking at us from the side, his face built from green, ochre and pink strokes, wearing a white shirt with red and blue stripes against a light blue and green background. Matisse painted himself in the free, pure colours of Fauvism too, which is why Matisse Self-Portrait feels alive, determined and very personal.
How is our hand-painted study of Matisse Self-Portrait made?
Our painters paint the study of Matisse Self-Portrait by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Matisse Self-Portrait has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Matisse Self-Portrait is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.
Which size of Matisse Self-Portrait suits your room?
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Matisse Self-Portrait in 90 × 110 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 × 50 cm. Matisse Self-Portrait is available in 40 × 50 cm, 46 × 55 cm, 60 × 70 cm, 70 × 80 cm, 80 × 100 cm, 90 × 110 cm, 100 × 120 cm and 110 × 130 cm. A simple rule for Matisse Self-Portrait: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.
