Icarus conveys movement using just a few simple shapes. A black silhouette floats across a deep blue backdrop, surrounded by sharp yellow bursts and anchored by a single red spot at its core. Crafted by Henri Matisse during his cut-out phase, this piece transforms paper into a dance. Flat colours gain depth, edges seem to sing, and the whole image balances lift and gravity together.
