Description:

|
Created in Nice. This large scale paper cutout study for a tile mural was commissioned by L.A. arts patron Frances Lasker Brody. Matisse began work in January of 1953, using his customary practice of cutting sheets of paper which had been hand-painted in gouache in custom colors. His first study was Large Composition with Masks, now in the National Gallery, Washington. Flowers and Fruit was his second design. He created a third design (Apollo, Moderna Museet, Stockholm). The Brodys rejected all three, and Matisse then designed The Sheaf, which they accepted. All three attempts at the L.A. commission are framed by classical pilasters and The Sheaf is more organic.
