Simply..fun with Matisse....

9/5/2014

I bought a pad of bright coloured paper from the gorgeous Tate Modern shop (you can get it online here) and am having fun getting Matisse Cut Outs out of my system!

Picasso said -

'I go for a walk in the forest of Fontainebleau and I get green indigestion. I must get rid of this sensation into a picture. Green rules it. A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.'

I don't really want to be Matisse of course (and neither did Andy Warhol) but I would love some of his vitality and courage!

What I've learned from doing these is what a master of composition he was...

Will you be going to the exhibition?

I will be in London in a few days. Did you book and were the queues huge to get in?

Grace, we did exactly what Lucille suggests below, and I'm very glad we did. No queues and rooms to ourselves! Amazing!

Been and loved it. It's a good idea to get a 10am ticket. I got mine in advance. Then you can scoot through if you want some space and quiet in some of the later rooms as there is no one ahead of you. I'm not too bothered about seeing things in chronological order.
