Henri Matisse, the French modernist celebrated for bold colour and paper cut-outs, turned his scissors into a paintbrush in his later years. This collage makes that clear. Shapes in teal, red, lilac, black and blue float within a bright orange frame, with soft cream spaces between them. The arrangement seems spontaneous but is carefully balanced, like a casual shuffle that has found its place.
