Painting with Scissors – Matisse Cutouts

During the last decade of his life, Matisse could not create art in the same manner as he once did due to his declining health. He began to create by painting paper and cutting out shapes. He "painted" with scissors. These shapes were simple but expressive. Using scissors he created a magical world of plants, animals, figures and shapes.
