One day, the artist Henri Matisse cut a small bird from a piece of white paper. It was a simple shape, but he liked the way it looked and didn't want to throw it away, so he pinned it to the wall of his apartment. But the bird looked lonely all by itself, so he cut out more shapes to join it. He didn't know it then, but he had taken the first step in creating a new form of art, one that would soon transform the walls of his studio into a blooming, vibrant garden. 48 pp.; illustrated throughout.

Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was a groundbreaking French artist known for his bold use of color and fluid, expressive line. Over his long career as a painter, sculptor, and printmaker, he explored how color and form could work together, from his vibrant Fauvist paintings to his innovative paper cut-outs. Influenced by textiles from his childhood in northern France and his travels, Matisse brought a sense of pattern, harmony, and joy to modern art—though his seemingly simple works were the result of careful, deliberate effort. Over 400 of his works are in MoMA's collection and have been featured in numerous exhibitions at the Museum.
