Montblanc pays homage to Henri Matisse with this fine stationery canvas notebook, part of their celebrated Masters of Art collection. This collection honours the eternal contribution of great artists throughout history that have expressed the human experience through beauty and form. During the 20th century, Henri Matisse was a pivotal figure in the art world, revolutionising the handling of artistic media and helping set the tone for modern art. Matisse grew up in Bohain in northern France, and from a young age was fascinated by the fabrics seen in the then prosperous textile industry of the area. He proceeded to transform his studio into a treasure trove of textiles. Initially, he only used them in his compositions as background elements, but soon they became central to his artistic exploration. Textiles influenced his focus on harmonious colours and decorative patterns, which is exemplified by his iconic painting "La Blouse Roumaine". This expertly handcrafted Montblanc notebook has been created using white canvas, with artfully enhanced with plush velvet patches which pay homage to Matisse’s distinctive ‘Blue Nude III’ artwork. The notebook includes 96 exquisite sheets of lined paper, plus an attached blue fabric bookmark. Elegantly designed to capture your thoughts and dreams, this practical medium notebook is ready to accompany you anywhere, transitioning effortlessly from your desk to your bag. The Montblanc iconic snowcap emblem is seen on the front cover, and the brand name is printed at the bottom of each page.
