Red Coral Leaf: Matisse Paper Cutouts II Throw Blanket Size:68" x 80" purple petals

purple petals

A stylized sun with a half-circle orange center sends forth a burst of colored rays in shades of teal

textured background of ochre and beige tones

The composition centers the tiger's direct gaze while its body recedes into pale rose shadows

with the abstract marks evoking both natural forms and meditative mark-making

Red Coral Leaf: Matisse Paper Cutouts II Throw Blanket Size:68" x 80" purple petalsA bold red organic form with flowing, finger like projections floats against a soft blue background, rendered in the simplified shapes and flat color characteristic of paper cutout art. The composition captures movement and grace through pure abstraction, with "MATISSE" lettered in clean capitals at the top, anchoring this work as a celebration of mid century modernist reduction and the freedom of cut paper as a medium.
