Matisse Dancer

The figure was taken from Henri Matisse’s art book Jazz (1943-44), specifically le cirque. It contains prints of colourful cut-paper collages accompanied by the artist's written thoughts. Matisse’s cutouts and his use of colour are a constant source of inspiration for me. The two warp rug weave based on tabby with shaft switching. Cotton stuffer warp, carpet wool weft and weaving warp. Finish philippine edge with weaving warps darned back in. 890 x 1050 mm. $840.
