Creole Dancer, c.1947 Prints by Henri Matisse at AllPosters.com

French painter Henri Matisse (1869 – 1954) expressed joy through patterns, ornamentation and vivid colors. Given a paint set while recovering from an illness, Matisse described his discovery of art as “a kind of paradise.” Originally labeled a Fauvist, he produced early works that were remarkably mature. After seeing Impressionist and Japanese art, Matisse made color instrumental to his work, and experimented with expressive abstraction. He also decorated the Dominican nuns’ chapel at Vence, France when he was almost 80. Matisse, who was often nervous, relieved his tension through painting.

This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability. Art prints are created on paper similar to that of a postcard or greeting card using a digital or offset lithography press.

Comments:

The size was clearly stated on the description so it was totally my fault that it was smaller than I expected but I still really like it for it's vibrant colours and it will fill a small spot once framed with a larger frame. Just make sure you measure out the size of the print itself (which is a fair bit smaller than the overall paper size), to make sure it is big enough for your needs.
