Polynesia, the sea
The title of my last post was: "Off to the sea".
.Today I found "my sea", dumped along the road,
a poster of Matisse, "Polynesia, the sea", 1946.
Towards the end of his career Matisse used a mixture
of cut-outs in colored paper with gouache and crayon
to overcome the handicaps of age and illness.
The Blue Nudes are a major series of Matisse's final.
JAZZ
In 1947 Matisse created "Jazz", an artist's book of
about one hundred prints based on paper cut-outs.
