Aragon collage and Matisse - the sky cut 1965

When I see a lot of this great painter, he was in the period when it seemed like a game, it had already begun between two canvas, great season drawing to combine what had the air of sorts of models First, glue tables designed with assembly of coloured paper… Faced with new paintings by Morning "j Aragon had this childishness to talk about wallpaper, and I saw much of the eye froncement Matisse that his intention in my mouth as a pejorative expression. I had my desire to catch up. So I tried to erase the impression made m'excusant of inconsistency there was to learn the wallpaper, just the cut which was borrowed from color paper cut, not painted.

Because own collage matissiens was precisely to be collages of coloured paper, and non-representational objects…

Matisse me out that his collages were cut above all, it lay in that word then. Some painted cutouts. Because if the color was not provided in the table with a brush, she was prepared to gouache on paper sheets, in which the chisel draws afterthought. That was what Matisse insisted, and that rather than drawing drum, as in the earlier painting, always the first to color, rather than the design ménageât, cernât, "preparations" spaces that could have forms of flowers , objects, characters, on the funds, plans painted the composition, the color here was painted first, then cut, ie designed afterthought by the chisel, surrounded by the form of elements of the composition. So it was quite wrong to say, as I did, that the use of coloured paper replaced in the paint, the color chosen and implemented prior to the contrary had gouache dominant character here, it was also far from the collage that non-painted wallpaper, ie the false pretence.

The cut Matisse recréaient through other channels divine relations between objects in nature. It is no doubt that, for him, paste, which was often also pick up, with the variation of space and mass ratio then he brought to these areas combined, playing with them several times… paste was painted. Beyond even the fact that the paper had been cut materially painted by him.
