Nothing softens an entryway like a painted surface. La Coiffure (Hairdressing) by Henri Matisse arrives as a hand painted oil painting on canvas, offering the fine art detail, soft gradients, and tactile finish that fine art oil painting shoppers look for.
1901
Oil on canvas
95.2 x 80.1 cm
National Gallery of Art - Washington DC, United States.
This early and important painting by Henri Matisse depicts his wife, Amélie, facing a mirror while arranging her hair. Hair has a long but little-known history in art, going as far back as Titian, linking the similarity of its texture and composition to the hairs of a paintbrush. The subject, as ever, must be art which means that the female nude facing the mirror represents the artist facing his painting which is represented within the painting as the mirror on the wall. Mirrors often represent paintings, in part because they are an age-old metaphor for the mind's surface and, in part, because if every painter paints himself, every painting must reflect the artist.
As entryway wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other fauvist wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
This fine art oil painting wall decor is equally at home in a residence, a boutique hotel, or a professional office. Its fauvist character makes it a safe, distinctive gift for anyone furnishing an entryway.
Order La Coiffure (Hairdressing) as a hand painted oil painting on canvas and add lasting fauvist character to your entryway. Custom sizes, a digital proof before dispatch, and secure worldwide shipping are included.
