BYDealers Auction House Biography and Notes

In mid-June, 1944, Henri Matisse produced and dated several ink drawings each day for a week at his home in German-occupied Vence, in the south of France. That same month saw the beginning of the Allied invasion of France. Exiled Free French leader Charles de Gaulle returned to the country after four years, and the liberation of France occurred later that year. This ink drawing of a lively, leafy bouquet in rounded vase with a single handle is dated June 21, 1944. Sensitively drawn in spare, unshaded lines, this 20.2-inch-high work on paper describes simplified forms within a slightly tilted space.
