Paul Matisse

Paul Matisse (born 1933) is an artist and inventor. He is known especially for his public art installations, many of which are interactive. He is also inventor of the Kalliroscope.

In 1954, Matisse graduated from Harvard, [Christopher Reed, [http://www.harvardmagazine.com/on-line/050244.html "Pure Fabrications"] , "Harvard Magazine", May-June 2002.] where he once lived in Eliot House with Stephen Joyce, grandson of James Joyce, and Sadruddin Aga Khan, a descendant of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. After college he briefly studied at Harvard's Graduate School of Design before working in product development for Arthur D. Little. In 1962 he set off on his own, manufacturing Kalliroscopes.

From 1977 to 1979 he helped Alexander Calder enlarge a sculpture for the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Thereafter, he began his own public art career.

He currently resides in a former Baptist church in Groton, Massachusetts. He is the stepson of artist Marcel Duchamp and grandson of French painter Henri Matisse. Henri Matisse's son, Pierre Matisse, was Paul's father. [Christopher Reed, [http://www.harvardmagazine.com/on-line/050244.html "Pure Fabrications"] , "Harvard Magazine", May-June 2002.]
