Nakaya Piccolo Cigar
The Sky in Polynesia Fountain Pen
This pen was inspired by the artist Henri Matisse's gouache paper cut-out pieces that he did during his later career. "Polynesia, The Sky" done in 1946, served as the inspiration for this pen design.
The better part of a year was needed to complete the design, color palette decisions, and painting of this lyrically fanciful pen.
At the age of 77 Matisse had turned to "cut-outs" which were physically easier for him to complete. These sorts of motifs showed up throughout much of his later life, simple shapes representing flying shapes suggesting the air that lifts them.
The end of this pen is boldly painted with gold urushi lacquer. The entire effect is one of exuberance and joy, which marked much of Matisse's long career.
