Matisse used this cut-out picture to design a poster with the Mourlot studios, to promote the city of Nice for the French Tourism office in 1965. The image, Danseuse Créole (Créole Dancer) is one of Matisse’s favourite pieces. He sketched the American dancer Katherine Dunham while she performed in his studio, and with surplus pieces of coloured paper, he created the cut-out in a single day. He gifted the work to the Musée Matisee in Nice in 1953.
