Description
Visage légèrement penché vers la gauche (1913) captures Henri Matisse’s innovative approach to portraiture during the early modernist period. The lithograph presents a serene, subtly abstracted profile, demonstrating the artist’s fascination with line, form, and the expressive potential of minimalism. Executed on delicate Japan paper, the work reveals Matisse’s mastery of lithographic technique, where each line conveys elegance, rhythm, and emotional nuance. The composition balances simplicity with a sense of movement, exemplifying his skill in capturing the essence of the subject with economy and precision. This edition of 50 is a rare example of Matisse’s early printmaking, merging the tactile qualities of traditional lithography with his forward-thinking aesthetic. Framed and preserved in good condition, the sheet remains a testament to Matisse’s enduring influence on modern portraiture and graphic art.
