The creator of works such as The Red Studio, The Joy of Life and The Snail, Matisse used colour theory to investigate how to combine colours harmoniously. Single minded in his pursuit, the artist would continue working after declining health and invasive surgeries left him essentially bedridden. His late ‘cut out’ works are amongst his greatest.
