Matisse's gouaches decoupes have always been a favorite for their simplicity, minimalism and elegance. Although the National Gallery's Matisse cut-out collection is quite small, it is well worth taking a peak. Cut and composed later in Matisse's life, they continue to show the vigor, acute color sensibility and perverted spacial composition that his paintings are celebrated for. In his own words, these are his "paintings with scissors."
