About the Item

Artist: Sophie Matisse Medium: Original Silkscreen, Signed, 2014 Dimensions: 24 x 28 in / 61 x 71.1 cm This beautiful original artwork designed by Sophie Matisse was printed by King & McGaw in 2014 and published by Mourlot. The print is hand-signed and numbered 4 out of 300 by the artist herself. Great-granddaughter of the world famous Henri Matisse, Sophie Matisse is a French-American artist from Cambridge, Massachusetts. After a brief stint at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, Sophie decided to follow in her great grandfather's foot steps by attending the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Here she faced pressure to uphold her family's artistic reputation as well as the added difficulty of being taught in French. Eventually, Matisse was asked to leave but she did not let that stop her from reaching the heights of her artistic career. In the 1990's Matisse set up shop in New York City, where she eventually began to garner attention for her modern interpretations of famous historical artworks. In 2002, Matisse had her first solo exhibitions at the gallery known as Francis Naumann Fine Art. Matisse has since continued to taste success and recognition on a national and global scale.

Sophie Matisse

Sophie Matisse is an international contemporary artist. She initially gained notoriety for her series, Be back in 5 Minutes, in which she recreated famous old master paintings while erasing the figures. Media coverage is often quick to note Sophie’s family background; an art pedigree originating with her great grandfather, Henri Matisse. Britain’s Sunday Telegraph once referred to Sophie as “Art Royalty“, a term occasionally paraphrased when discussing this artist and her work. The Absentee paintings gave Sophie her first wide spread exposure as an artist in her own right, and would inform her work for years thereafter. In 2003, she added Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to the number of paintings she reinterpreted. In 2004, Sophie began a new series entitled, the “Zebra Stripe Paintings“. Once again borrowing historically significant images from art history, only this time, weaving them with her own abstract imagery through a zebra stripe shaped pattern. The borrowed images, though, are more obscured as they are forced to share the canvas space with her colorful contemporary abstractions, rendering the familiar images less identifiable. Even the artist herself, has often joked that her Dyslexia may have actually helped her in creating these works. The series has been compared to James Rosenquist’s later works, juxtaposing and overlapping seemingly unrelated imagery. Sophie continued to explore and develop her unique perspective with her next series, Ribbons in 2008. In this series, she divides the surface into brightly colored interlocking shapes and introduces enlarged details from her smaller gouache paintings done years earlier. Only a sparse floating ribbon makes reference to the recognizable paintings of the past. In Sophie’s 2012 series, It’s Time, the awareness of the passage of time takes precedence as she lets go entirely of any references to art history. Exploring new imagery, such as Arabic calligraphy, even at times reorienting the words. These collage like paintings are filled with calligraphy displaying photographic images of luxury brand watch faces, suggesting the continual passage of change. By incorporating language, Matisse expands the realm of seeing to include reading. Either for the meaning of the words or simply for the visual impact of the letterforms. This flickering between seeing and reading reverberates throughout this series only to continue more so in her following work. Currently, Sophie is working on a new series of small intimate gouache works on paper in which she continues to explore the nature of life’s continuously evolving perceptions. Using her her own imagery coupled often with iconic commercial and luxury brand logos, words and numbers, one’s attention is consistently refocused and reconfigured through the interaction of these varying vocabularies that the artist has layer out for us too, to explore.

By Peter Marks

Located in Fairlawn, OH

Untitled Photo collage, c. 2005 Unsigned Provenance: Estate of the Artist Condition: Excellent Image size: 15 1/4 x 19 1/2 inches Sheet size: 19 1/4 x 24 1/4 inches Peter Marks (1935 -2010) Peter Marks was born in New York City on January 18, 1935. A lifetime New Yorker, Marks graduated from the High School of Music and Art in 1952 and Amherst College in 1956. After a brief stint as a graphic designer in publishing, Marks became a private art dealer and opened his gallery Peter Marks Works of Art, Inc. in 1960. During this time he specialized in the sale of Southeast Asian and Islamic antiquities and made many contributions to the field both as a dealer and an advocate of his profession. Above all, Marks was motivated by a strong desire to find great art and make it available to large audiences. After retiring from art dealing in 2002, Marks transformed his Manhattan gallery space into a studio where he drew prolifically and painted large non-objective canvasses. This time in his studio was a happy one for Marks, who viewed this period of his life not as retirement, but rather fulfillment, a fact that is confirmed by passionate artistic output in the years leading up to his passing in 2010. In 2012, Thomas French...
