Description

Mountains at Collioure by André Derain Art PrintThink of it as Matisse with less reverence and better instincts. Derain paints the hills above Collioure as flat ribbons of sky blue, mustard and coral, with a tangle of olive trees laid loosely on top. Hang it and the room loosens up. Colours that felt safe start looking braver, and the wall stops being polite. It earns its place above a sofa, behind a writing desk, or on a quiet hallway wall where you walk past it daily. Pair it with linen, oak,

so the rest of the room can sit back

Hang it solo on a chalky off-white wall

It gives a plain kitchen a clear personality

On fine-art paper it keeps the soft

A quiet winter scene with tiny figures

Avoid busy patterned wallpaper and other strongly coloured prints nearby — this one wants a calm wall and a little space around it to do its job

The shapes are flat

or down a hallway that needs a focal point

or in a hallway that needs a smile on the way in

The shapes are bold but the colours stay gentle

White paint reads cleaner

Two black dogs sit calmly inside a Morris-style tangle of tulips
