Landscape near Collioure by Henri Matisse Art Print

Landscape near Collioure by Henri Matisse Art Print'Too safe,' said nobody standing in front of soft pink. This is Matisse at his most generous a loose, sun warmed landscape that throws colour around without apology. Hang it up and the room loosens. Walls that were polite suddenly have something to say, and the eye gets pulled into the pinks, greens and dabs of blue instead of skating across beige. Best above a sofa, a low sideboard or a console in a living room or wide hallway, on a chalky off white

a small sideboard or a reading chair

and a flat neutral sofa suddenly has somewhere to look

A modern travel poster of Tokyo gives a flat wall a clear focal point without taking over the room

Walls feel a touch warmer

not a pattern swatch

stoneware and warm metals

A living room this pared back can take one serious cityscape

Printed on premium fine-art paper for clean colour and a poster-sharp finish

featuring rich plums

but the pattern carries enough detail to reward a second look

two close tones

brass lamp bases
