By using scissors and sheets of paper, he started a new phase of his career.
가위와여러장의종이를사용함으로써, 그는그의경력에있어새로운국면을시작했다.
Matisse called the last 14 years of his life "a second life."
Matisse는그의인생의마지막14년을'두번째삶'이라고불렀다

From the outside, the chapel can be recognized by its blue and white tiles and 13-meter-high iron cross.
밖에서봤을때, 그성당은파란색, 하얀색타일들과13미터높이의철십자가로알아볼수있다.
It is simple and harmonious, as is the white interior of the chapel.
외부의모습은성당의하얀내부처럼간결하면서도조화를이루고있다.

His mastery of paper-cutting elevated what had been a children's art activity into a real art form.
종이를자르는일에능통해지면서아이들의미술활동이라고불렸던것을진정한예술의형태로승화시켰던것이다.

Dancheong
단청
Dancheong, which literally means "red and green," refers to the beautiful five-colored designs found on the pillars, eaves, and ceilings of traditional Korean wooden buildings.
A building painted with dancheong emphasized its resident's status, and its bright colors were also believed to protect the building from evil spirits.
단청으로칠한건축물은거기에살고있는사람의지위를강조했고, 또한, 단청의밝은색들은악령으로부터건물을보호해준다고믿어졌다.
Dancheong consists of five basic colors: blue, red, black, white and yellow.
단청은파랑, 빨강, 검정, 하양, 그리고노랑의다섯가지기본색들로구성된다.
These colors can be mixed together to form countless other colors, and were thought to create harmony and balance.
이색들은함께섞여서셀수없이많은다른색들을만들어낼수있고, 조화와균형을만들어낸다고여겨진다.
Dancheong's harmonious combination of colors represents the ancient Koreans' desire for stability and peace in their lives.
단청의조화로운색들의결합은옛한국인들의삶에대한안정감과평화에대한갈망을나타낸다.
Dancheong is now difficult to find because Koreans today no longer paint dancheong on the pillars or ceilings of their homes.
However, this does not mean that it has disappeared entirely.
그러나이것이단청이완전히사라졌다는것을의미하는것은아니다.
Modern artists and designers are reviving dancheong, using it as inspiration for new designs in painting, architecture, clothing, furniture, and on the stage.
