He was barely able to hold the scissors. There is a video showing an assistant holding the paper, turning it this way and that way, while Matisse held the scissors and squeezed the handles. The assistant, not Matisse, was directing the cut shape.<br /><br />I love the cutout collages. I just want to end the mythology of the lone genius working alone.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.com
