Henri's Scissors

(2) K-3 Winter focuses on Henri Matisse's later life, during which the painter took up collage and discovered the magic he could make with scissors. Winter's text is straightforward and unflowery, and she includes quotes from the artist regarding this revelation. Winter relies, successfully, on the strength of her own art to capture the essence of Matisse's; cut paper is integrated into the illustrations.
