179 After Henri Matisse (1869–1954) – Untitled (Reclining and Kneeling Nudes) from Archéologue de la Mer – Red Lithograph (1963)

This expressive red lithograph is part of the publication Archéologue de la Mer by Alain Verdet, published in 1963. It presents six studies of nude female figures in varying positions—kneeling, reclining, and lying down—rendered in spontaneous, fluid red lines. The raw and immediate sketch style reflects the influence of Henri Matisse, whose later works celebrated the simplicity of form and movement.
Though unsigned, this print was issued as part of an homage to Matisse’s studio drawings and was produced after his death. The composition aligns with the artist’s late-career focus on the sensual and expressive essence of the human body, rather than academic precision.
