Matisse

I will now admit to my poor memory. Earlier this year I saw a BBC documentary on the life and work of Matisse, but since then I keep forgetting his name every time his work comes to mind. A predominant focal point of the program was Matisse's interest in the use of colour and how that has trickled down and now shapes how we perceive and use colour in art and design. For instance his work "Icare" (Icarus) 1943 stuck in my mined as it was shown as a starting point for what we now see in the earlier apple Ipod adverts.



















In addition, this work also reminds me of what I have seen from Saul Bass and in turn his influence on the work of Olly Moss.
