review 1: The quotes from Matisse himself describing his "second life" cutting paper shapes after illness has restricted his ability to paint are a highlight of the text. The spreads where he is drawing on his ceiling with chalk and cutting his largest shapes are well-done and these illustrations give a reasonable impression of his work. The sentimentality in the last two spreads seems at odds with the previous pages.
review 2: Though this picture book biography of the artist Matisse starts with his interest in drawing and painting as a boy and a young man, it focuses on his later years. When Matisse was an old man, he fell ill—the author’s note says that he had cancer—and he was too weak to paint…until one day he picked up a scissors and started cutting out sha... morepes from painted paper and making collages…collages that started out small and grew until they were room sized. The lively text and illustrations are interspersed with quotations from Matisse. (Originally reviewed on Mackin Books in Bloom. less
