Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954) is one of the leading figures of modern
art. His unparalleled cut-outs are among the most significant of
any artist's late works. When ill health first prevented Matisse
from painting, he began to cut into painted paper with scissors as
his primary technique to make maquettes for a number of
commissions, from books and stained glass window designs to
tapestries and ceramics. Taking the form of a 'studio diary', the
catalogue re-examines the cut-outs in terms of the methods and
materials that Matisse used, and looks at the tensions in the works
between finish and process; fine art and decoration; contemplation
and utility; and drawing and colour.
