TEENY 1938

"TEENY" is a 1938 woodcut by French artist Henri Matisse. The piece depicts a woman's face in stark black and white, a characteristic feature of Matisse's later work. Her features are simplified, highlighting the contour of her face, hair, and neck. The geometric background, composed of vertical and wavy lines, adds depth and emphasizes the graphic quality of the portrait. This bold, minimalist style is typical of Matisse's mature artistic approach, showcasing his interest in line and form.
