Description
Large Composition with Masks - Collage of paper cut-outs by Henri Matisse, 1953.
This composition was originally conceived as a full-scale preliminary study for a ceramic mural. It is the largest of the Matisse's cut-outs, the size of the five joined murals is 353.6 x 996.4 cm.
Vertical blue columns at either side frame the artwork, enclosing the composition of vividly colored rosettes arranged in grid pattern. Stylized faces are subtly integrated into the design, adding an intriguing element to the vibrant composition.
