About the Artist

Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was a leading force in modern art whose bold color, fluid line, and innovative forms reshaped twentieth-century painting and printmaking. Celebrated for his Fauvist vision, he was also a master of etching, distilling portraits and figures into elegant compositions of striking simplicity. His influence continues to resonate across contemporary art and design, affirming his place as both a cornerstone of modernism and a timeless inspiration today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with my purchase?

Your artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity (or Letter of Authenticity), professional packaging, and insured delivery.

How is the artwork shipped?

We ship fully insured, using trusted carriers. Each piece is professionally packed to ensure safe arrival. Shipping times vary based on the location of the art, its destination, and whether or not it is framed (ready to ship) at the time of your purchase.

Do you frame the artwork?

All our works come beautifully framed. Some print multiples may have framing options if we have unframed editions available in our warehouse. Our in-house framing provides high-quality moulding, acid-free materials and either UV plexiglass or framer’s grade acrylic. High value works may be framed in custom, closed-corner frames, and are often framed in Optium museum glass for enhanced clarity.

Does Martin Lawrence Galleries provide Appraisal Services?

No, Martin Lawrence Galleries does not provide appraisal services. To ensure that appraisals are fully independent and unbiased, it is best practice for them to be carried out by certified appraisers who have not had prior involvement with the sale or handling of the artwork. For that reason, we do not appraise artworks that we handle, and instead recommend that collectors seek an independent, certified appraiser.

Does Martin Lawrence Galleries take works in on consignment?

No, we own the vast majority of our inventory and do not seek out consignments from Sellers.

Will Martin Lawrence Galleries help me install my artwork?

Yes, if you purchase from a local gallery, your consultant will be happy to assist you with hanging the artwork in your home.

Can I see the artwork in person?

Martin Lawrence Galleries has seven galleries across the country where you may be able to see the exact piece you are interested in. Print and sculpture multiples are more likely to be in several places for possible viewings whereas unique artworks will be constrained to one location. We are happy to facilitate your visit to one of our galleries if that is convenient for you. We can also take videos and extensive photos if a visit is not possible.
