Eric Carle's book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" was one of my favourite books as a child, and his artwork recently came back to my attention when researching collaging and children's illustration. I love his work and his use of collage, he is very successful at characterisation and his colours are attractive. His style has been very inspiring to me, especially when I have had to create characters. Below are a few examples of his work that I have came across whilst researching.
Henri Matisse
Henry Matisse's paper cut outs are beautiful, and the shapes of leaves and plants inspired some of the shapes I made for my jungle collages. There is currently an exhibition on at the Tate modern, but the ticket prices were slightly too pricey for my budget for the trip to London.
