(4) K-3 Translated by Jan Michael. Van Haeringen makes creative use of bold primary colors and white space to reconstruct the world of Henri Matisse as he endures a mobility-reducing illness late in life and creates collages with cut paper. The text, translated from the Dutch, is less successful, with odd phrasing and a reliance on invented dialogue; a biographical note adds value. Not as strong as Jeanette Winter's Henri's Scissors.
