(Dec. 31, 1869 - Nov. 3, 1954)
In 1941 Matisse was diagnosed with cancer and
following surgery, started using a wheelchair. With the
use of assistants, Matisse started creating cut-outs. His
assistants would paint sheets of white paper and he
would cut out coloured elements and place them onto
paper.
