170 Henri Matisse (1869-1954) - Abstract Charcoal Figure Print - Circa 1940s–1950s

This striking charcoal drawing is attributed to Henri Matisse and exemplifies his mastery of expressive, gestural line work. The interplay of bold lines, geometric abstraction, and gestural movement is characteristic of Matisse’s late-period drawings, particularly his figure studies from the 1940s and 1950s.
Matisse’s (1869–1954) later works focused on the simplification of form, often reducing his subjects to elegant, flowing contours while maintaining a strong emotional and structural presence. This drawing captures the tension between figuration and abstraction, echoing the influence of modernist and cubist aesthetics while remaining uniquely Matissean in its execution.
