Klee set the art world free
in his Once emerged from the grey of night' poetry
Unifying colour & words
An idea never previously heard
An experimental start
With his posey picture art-

MATTISE CUT-OUT an Ekphrasis
Colour combinations,yellows &blacks
of every hue,gouache paper,paint,
pins&glue.Cut-out patterns,pasted
pastiche,outlines enssemblage traced,
time after time.Out of the blue nudes
appear,modelled maquettes a last period
coda of the master’s career.
Inspired by Matisse Cut-out book Jazz
Listen to me recite this ekphrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
