Matisse Paper Cuts in Pastels Art Print

Matisse Paper Cuts in Pastels Art PrintWe like abstract botanicals best when they come with a little abrasion. This one has it sweet pastels held in check by bold black type and a confident, almost crowded layout. A quiet wall starts to feel like a deliberate room with this above the bed, the sofa or a console in the hallway.

and suits hallways and bedrooms where you want presence without noise
