Matisse Orange Silk Habotai Scarf

This vibrant 100% silk habotai scarf features a design inspired by The Codomas (1947), a striking work by French Fauvist and Modernist artist Henri Matisse (1869-1954). While the piece may seem abstract at first, it is actually a depiction of a trapeze act, created using Matisse's signature technique of gouaches découpées, or cut-paper collage. The artwork was part of Jazz, a 1947 collection showcasing Matisse’s dynamic, colorful compositions. Once you understand the story behind it, you can spot the trapeze artist’s swings, the safety net, and the two figures mid-air, moving toward each other. This scarf brings Matisse’s bold vision to life, adding a touch of artistic flair to any outfit.
