Henri Matisse icons, part 1: the paper cutouts (coral)

Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker and draughtsman who was one of the most well-known figures in modern art. He is generally regarded alongside Pablo Picasso as one of the foremost leaders in the revolutionary changes in Western art of the 20th century. His early paintings (starting in 1900) earned him a name as one of the Fauves. In later life, when he was prevented from painting by his health, he created an important body of work in the medium of cut-paper collage. — [Paraphrased from Wikipedia]

The coral and leaf shapes from his cut paper work are some of my favorites, and that's what you mostly see here.
