description: One day the French artist Henri Matisse cut a small bird out of a piece of paper. It looked lonely all by itself so he cut out more shapes to join it. Before he knew it Matisse had transformed his walls into larger-than-life gardens filled with brightly colored plants animals and shapes of all sizes! Featuring cut-paper illustrations and interactive foldout pages Matisses Garden is the inspiring story of how the artists never-ending curiosity helped turn a small experiment into a radical new form of art.
