Matisse: Drawing With Scissors
This touring exhibition from the Hayward Gallery in London will visit the Irish Linen Centre in Lisburn, close to Belfast, and is well worth a detour for anyone visiting Northern Ireland while it is on.
During the last 4 years of his life Henri Matisse created a series of famous cut-out pictures, using paper that had been hand-painted with gouache, laid down in abstract or figurative patterns.
The exhibition features 35 lithographic prints of the famous cut-outs, giving a brilliant overview of Matisse's late work, including many of his iconic images, such as The Snail and the Blue Nudes.
The Irish Linen Centre is worthy of a visit in its own right, telling the history of the Linen industry which is such an important part of Northern Ireland's past.
