MATISSE, HENRI
(1869 - 1954) French painter and sculptor greatly influenced by the Post-Impressionists, and who gave up pointillism and became a leader of the fauvists. Able to work in with many media, he created sculptures, gouache works, paintings, costumes and sets. Fine and rare vintage S.P. 5"" x 8"" b/w ca. 1949, a wonderful image showing Matisse in his later years seated before two of his paintings of Christ on and carrying the cross. Boldly signed ""H. Matisse"" in the blank mount beneath the image. Sold with a photocopy of the letter from Matisse dated Nov. 22, 1949, sending the photograph. Fine condition, certainly worthy of display!
