Art Frame – Henri Matisse, Les oiseaux, 1947

A masterful work from Henri Matisse, Les oiseaux (“The Birds”) exemplifies the artist’s late-period brilliance in cut-out techniques. With vivid colors and a bold, yet elegantly simple composition, the piece evokes the vitality and graceful movement of birds, capturing both energy and serenity in a timeless visual rhythm.

Executed through silkscreen printing, the work retains the tactile depth and vibrant richness of Matisse’s original cut-outs, offering a striking presence on any wall. This poster serves as both a celebration of mid-20th-century modernism and a refined piece of Scandinavian-inspired interior art.

Henri Matisse (1869–1954), born in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, northern France, was a leading figure of 20th-century art. Drawing inspiration from Cézanne, Van Gogh, and the Impressionists, he pursued a liberated and expressive use of color throughout his career. Following a long illness in the 1940s, he embraced the paper cut-out technique, creating works that combined simplicity, elegance, and the palpable imprint of his hand. Beyond painting, Matisse was a sculptor, designer, and innovator whose influence endures globally.
