Description:

Painted in Nice. Like all of Matisse's cutouts, this was made by hand-painting paper with gouache, then cutting it into shapes and applying it to a background paper (now backed with canvas). The Blue Nudes series represents seated female nudes, and is among Matisse’s final body of works. Blue Nude IV, the first of the four nudes, took a notebook of studies and two weeks' work of cutting-and-arrangin g before the result satisfied him. In the event, Matisse finally arrived at his favorite pose, for all four works; intertwining legs and an arm stretching behind the neck. The color blue signified distance and volume to Matisse.
