Woman Beside the Water ☱ Matisse ☱ Canvas

La Japonaise: Woman Beside the Water (1905) by Henri Matisse was created in Collioure, a small Mediterranean fishing port near the border with Spain. Matisse began to explore what he later described as "construction by means of color" in his paintings while in Collioure. It depicts a woman in a kimono reading a book next to the water, created only with brushstrokes of color against a white canvas background and no definitive shapes or outlines. The painting and others like it were exhibited in the Paris Salon, where critics called Matisse and his fellow painters "les fauves" (wild beasts), which led to the art movement's name: Fauvism.

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.

⿻ Materials

Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years

Canvases are archival-grade, acid-free, satin-finish polycotton fabric

Frames and stretcher bars are solid wood with black backboard and hanging wire installed
