One day, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) cut a small bird out of a piece
of white paper. It was a simple shape, but he liked the way it
looked and didn't want to throw it away, so he pinned it to the
wall of his room. But the bird looked lonely all by itself, so he
cut out more shapes to join it, and before he knew it, he had
transformed his walls into larger-than-life gardens filled with
brightly coloured plants and animals and shapes of all sizes.
Featuring colourful cut-paper illustrations and Matisse's own
cut-outs, Matisse's Garden is the inspiring story of how the
artist's never-ending curiosity and continuous process of trying
new things helped turn a small experiment into a radical new form
of art. Children will see how Matisse used nothing but paper and
scissors to create simple shapes like squares, leaves and birds,
and experimented with scraps of leftover paper and new colour
combinations to create lush gardens on his studio walls.
