Il cuore
1947
Henri Matisse created this vibrant composition while bedridden and unable to paint traditionally, leading him to invent a revolutionary new method he called 'drawing with scissors.' Titled *The Heart*, this piece features a bold red heart floating on the right, balanced by a stark black and green geometric form on the left, all set against a serene blue background. Created for his famous 1947 book *Jazz*, these cut-out paper shapes express a rhythmic, playful energy, proving that even when confined to a wheelchair, his creative spirit was absolutely boundless.
