Upgrade your walls with A Street in Arcueil - Henri Matisse - Hand Painted Oil Painting. Every cityscape reproduction is painted entirely by hand, so the surface carries the depth and variation of an original oil painting rather than the flatness of a digital canvas print.
Une rue à Arcueil, 1898-1899
Oil on canvas
Matisse's earliest works were dark still lifes and interior scenes (with or without figures) clearly influenced by Northern Renaissance compositions. He first experimented with painting while recovering from appendicitis at his parents' home in northern France and by 1896, Matisse had painted his first truly modern picture, La table de la salle à manger (private collection). As John Elderfield has discussed of this period in the artist's oeuvre:
Once this commitment [to modernism] is made, Matisse's art rapidly changes. During an extended stay in Corsica and Toulouse in 1898-1899, he produced an important group of paintings in high-key, arbitrary colors and with unnaturalistically broken or atomized forms. The still lifes in particular are constructed purely from the relationships between colors, whose descriptive function is only summarily indicated. These 'proto-Fauve' paintings suddenly reveal the nature of Matisse's genius as a colorist: his using color not to imitate light, but to create it.
These paintings also reveal his emerging interest in Neo-Impressionism and in the work of Cézanne. Back in Paris, the latter would predominate. Indeed, Matisse began to emulate Cézanne and would speak of him as a 'god of painting'. Until 1904, an architectonic style concerned with expressing volume as color--through juxtaposed patches of different colors...or through sculptural masses composed of variations of a single color...dominated his production. (J. Elderfield, Henri Matisse, A Retrospective, exh. cat., The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1992-1993, p. 81)
The cityscape subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of fauvist oil painting wall decor.
Materials matter for fauvist wall decor. That is why this piece is built on artist-grade canvas with lightfast oil colors, applied by hand rather than output from a printer, and sealed for long-term display.
Style it over a fireplace, behind a reading chair, or along a staircase. Wherever it goes, this fauvist oil painting wall decor adds the layered color that only a hand painted canvas provides.
Whether the search term is cityscape oil painting, gallery wall art, or fauvist oil painting wall decor, this hand painted canvas delivers the same thing: a real painted surface, made to your chosen dimensions.
