The work 'Model and Oranges' was created by Henri Matisse a year before his death, and is a lithograph with few colors, simple lines and a lot of shape. Matisse wanted to simplify the idiom and challenge the color harmonies that were used at the time.

Henri Matisse is famous for his use of both color and form in painting. In 1890 - after a long stay in hospital - he seriously tried his hand at painting and subsequently moved to Paris.

Here, Impressionism influenced him for a period, but in 1905 he led a number of younger French artists and developed the art movement Fauvism, which is characterized by strong, pure colors.

Although Henri Matisse is best known to many for his paintings, he also worked with sculpture, graphic prints and, in the last four years of his life, with paper cutouts and collages.

Matisse is one of the most influential artists of the 1900s and is today considered one of the defining artists of modern art.
