The Lagoon
Fine Art Pochoir Le Lagon (The Lagoon) by Henri Matisse.
Le Lagon is one of the prints from Matisse's limited-edition art book titled Jazz, which was published in 1947. The work is a "cut-out," a technique the artist began using later in his life when illness made painting difficult. He created the compositions by cutting shapes from sheets of paper that had been painted with gouache and then arranging them into designs, a process he referred to as "painting with scissors". The artworks in the Jazz series, including this one, are noted for their vibrant colors and rhythmic compositions.
