IN THE LATE 1940s, HENRI MATISSE turned almost exclusively to cut paper collage. With scissors instead of his customary paintbrush, he began a series of cut-out forms of varying shapes and sizes — from the vegetal to the abstract — which he then arranged into lively compositions. Initially, these were of modest size but over time grew into mural or room-size works. As a brilliant final chapter in his long career, Matisse’s cut-outs reflect a renewed commitment to pure color and inventiveness of form.
