However, during his recovery from appendicitis, he was drawn to painting and was led to Paris. Initially, he painted realistic pictures, but seeking more freedom of expression, he created the Fauvist style with intense colors and bold brushstrokes. The Fauvist movement ended in a short period, but his relentless pursuit of art continued, and he eventually reached the world of paper cutouts, which simplified lines and colors to the extreme. Picasso, who recognized each other as lifelong rivals, said, "No one has looked at Matisse's work as carefully as I have, and no one has looked at mine as carefully as he has." *This is a valuable work that was limitedly printed in a French workshop. ■Printing Method This poster is silkscreen printed. Silkscreen: A type of stencil printing where the printing surface is divided into areas where ink passes through and areas where it does not, and ink is pushed onto the paper. Because the printing pressure is low, it is possible to print on various materials, and nowadays, fine and durable chemical fibers are often used instead of silk for the printing surface. The ink layer when printed is very thick, and the finish is delicate and soft. s-016a-abwh-mk
