Abrams, Inc. 1977 11 1 2" x 9" In Henri Matisse: Paper Cut Outs, art historian Jack Cowart notes that Matisse had been utilizing the cut out technique as a design tool for many years, to plan large scale murals and decorations as well as to work out compositions before painting them. But by the mid 1930s, Matisse also began to consider the expressive potential of cut and colored paper as works of art in their own right.
