a little art inspiration . . .

Les bĂȘtes de la mer, 1950 (Beasts of the Sea)

Lagoon, 1954

La gerbe, 1953

from the cut-outs of Henri Matisse. These were done late in the artist's life following a serious illness and subsequent surgery. He referred to the process of making cut-outs as "painting with scissors."

Wouldn't it be amazing to see these works reproduced as Modern Art Quilts?
