Product story
Although the visual language and pistachio palette are both inspired by Matisse's work, the source material for this image can be found in the metal screens or 'moon gates' that Jones has made for various rural sites in the UK including Chatsworth House. The linear design around a circular void lends itself perfectly to framing a vista. In this print, Jones' characteristically sensual figures surround the negative space; the small still-life in the corner of the design is a direct homage to Matisse.
The RA Editions programme generates valuable revenue for the RA and in particular the RA Schools.
