A Masterpiece of Modern Still Life: Matisse’s Apples (1916)
The year 1916 marked a profound evolution in Henri Matisse’s technique. Amidst the backdrop of World War I, Matisse moved away from the exuberant Fauvism of his earlier years toward a more structured, austere, and geometrically focused aesthetic. Apples (1916) is a quintessential example of this period, where Matisse explores the weight and form of fruit through bold outlines and a sophisticated, dark palette. This Henri Matisse fine art print captures the quiet intensity of a moment caught between tradition and modernism.
Premium Brushed Aluminum DIBOND® Craftsmanship
At RedKalion, we elevate this historical masterpiece by presenting it on a medium as contemporary as the artwork was in its time. Our Henri Matisse Brushed Aluminum Print is crafted using a 3mm (0.12") Aluminum DIBOND® panel featuring a unique horizontal grain. This material provides a durable, rigid base that ensures your museum-quality reproduction remains a centerpiece for decades.
The Dynamic Metallic Effect
This is not a standard print. The direct-to-aluminum printing process creates a striking matte, glare-free finish. Most notably, any unprinted white areas in Matisse's composition are not simply white; they reveal the brushed silver metallic effect of the aluminum itself. This creates a shimmering, dynamic interplay of light that changes as you move through the room, breathing new life into the 1916 composition.
- Material: 3mm Brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND® with horizontal grain.

What materials are used for this Henri Matisse print?
We use 3mm (0.12") Brushed silver Aluminum DIBOND®. This premium material features a horizontal grain and a metallic finish that provides a durable, rigid base for high-end museum-quality reproductions.
How does the metallic finish affect the appearance of 'Apples 1916'?
The white and light-colored areas of Matisse's painting are left unprinted, allowing the brushed silver aluminum to shine through. This creates a dynamic, metallic look that shifts beautifully with the ambient lighting in your space.

The print features a matte, glare-free finish. This ensures that the artwork remains clearly visible from all angles without distracting reflections, making it ideal for bright rooms or galleries with directional lighting.
Does the print come ready to hang?
Yes, every RedKalion aluminum print includes a high-quality hanging kit. The specific type of hardware provided is optimized based on the country of fulfillment to ensure a secure and easy installation.
How long will this archival-grade aluminum print last?
Aluminum DIBOND® is exceptionally durable and resistant to environmental factors. Using archival-grade inks and a rigid metal substrate, this print is designed to maintain its color vibrancy and structural integrity for generations.
What is the historical significance of Matisse's 1916 period?
In 1916, Matisse's style became more architectural and somber. Influenced by the war and the rise of Cubism, he focused on essential forms and a more restricted color palette, as seen in the structured composition of 'Apples'.
Why is aluminum a good choice for black-and-white or dark Matisse designs?
The brushed silver effect excels with high-contrast or darker designs. It adds a sophisticated, industrial texture to the dark tones while making the highlights pop with a metallic sheen, enhancing the modernist feel of the piece.
