In Henri Matisse: Paper Cut-Outs, art historian Jack Cowart notes that Matisse had been utilizing the cut-out technique as a design tool for many years, to plan large scale murals and decorations as well as to work out compositions before painting them. But by the mid-1930s, Matisse also began to consider the expressive potential of cut and colored paper as works of art in their own right.
