Clerihew Matisse Cut Outs

Drawing with scissors was no great change
in reality it increased Matisse colourful range
Creating in form,so unique
bringing is art to its peak

Nice clerihew and a reminder for me to relook at Matisse's later work. I know he was quite ill when he completed these cutouts - cancer? or stroke? - so this must have had an impact on his style and his ability to work with materials. Cheers - Gary
