About the Artwork

Created in the winter of 1929, Jeune femme le visage enfoui dans les bras emerged from a period of reflection between Matisse’s travels and his cut-out period. Prints from this era often depict solitary female figures at rest, not as passive subjects but as the embodiment of introspection and emotional states. Etching and Chine appliqué give this print an intimate, minimalist depth.

Behind The Collection

"When I founded East Fork,it was a deliberate choice to leave Matisse out of the name. The legacy of my great-grandfather had followed me around for 20 years and I wanted out. I had a feeling that if I tucked myself away in the woods, something was going to emerge and it would free me. And so many years later, I slowly welcomed him back in.” - Alex Matisse

    Beautiful and unique!

    The delicate Matisse design is gorgeous, and I love the combination of the creamy glaze and earthy clay. It feels like a little piece of art that you can actually use every day.
