Matisse was one of the most original artists of the 20th century. He became famous for his use of colour and early Wild Beast' paintings. In later life, when he was too ill to stand at an easel, he began drawing with scissors, creating iconic cut-out compositions with coloured paper. See his works come to life in five dazzling pop-ups and read about his love of cats and life on the French Riviera.
