1, Basic Introduction of Matisse
1) henri matisse is a world-renowned French artist and the founder of Fauvism. He has made extraordinary achievements in many artistic fields, especially colorful paper-cut works, which are well received. These colorful paper-cut works were completed with the help of his assistant when he was ill in his later years.
2) Matisse's paper-cut works seem simple, as if everyone can do it, but in fact, the originality, composition and color matching of his creation are far behind many people. The real charm of these seemingly simple paper-cut works lies in that each work is full of frankness and simplicity.
3) In order to make the colors of his works more vivid and moving, Matisse often tries to color the colored paper he needs with various materials. His paper-cut works are very concise in form, exaggerated in shape and imaginative, pure and bright in color, full of childlike innocence and interest.
2, Matisse's works
1) snail
Matisse's large-scale Snail written in 1953 can be said to be his most abstract work. Matisse not only used scissors, but even tore it directly by hand, and unfolded three groups of contrasting pieces of paper in a spiral shape.
2) Jazz
The white carriage on this paper-cut work jumps conspicuously against the red and black background, and seems to gallop freely in soft and soothing music. Its head held high reminds people of dancing in slow and melodious jazz.
In a word, Matisse's paper-cut works fully show his love for life and nature. Every paper-cut work he created is full of freedom and innocence, a perfect combination of color and form, and is affectionately called "silent poem" and "tangible music".
