Matisse: Drawing with Scissors

Jun 27 – Oct 18

At Southbank Centre

Belvedere Rd, SE1 8XX

Matisse's colors were so intense his doctor made him wear dark glasses
Prints come from the legendary 1958 Verve art review
Look for The Snail and the Blue Nudes

Matisse turned his sickbed into a studio, snipping painted paper into bold cut-outs like The Snail and the Blue Nudes. This touring show captures that late-life creative burst through 35 vivid lithographic prints from the legendary Verve portfolio.
