TATE MODERN EXHIBITIONS: Richard Hamilton / Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs / A Chronicle of Interventions
Whilst British artist Richard Hamilton (1922–2011) is widely regarded as a founding figure of pop art, he continued to innovate throughout his career. Hamilton's retrospective at Tate Modern encompasses the full scope of his work - from his early exhibition designs of the 1950s to his final paintings of 2011.

When poor health prevented the ageing Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954) from painting, he started using scissors to cut into painted paper to make drafts for new commissions. In time, having invented a new medium, Matisse chose cut-outs over painting.
