New auction at StrictlyArt

It's the motif "Everest" number 2/5 in 6 different color schemes. Inspired by the highest mountain in the world, Mont Everest in Nepal. And the wish to climb it - soon! - Might it be like seeing a Henri Matisse exhibition at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art? Seeing the great Master's colorful simplicity paper cut-outs, and letters telling the stories behind. Letters telling me, that he worked from 1941 to 1954 in exactly the same way that I do. A radical renewal that made it possible for Matisse to create what he had always struggled for: "I have needed all that time to reach the stage where I can say what I want to say."
