Nice draughtsman forgetting university in paper, postgraduate? (7)
I believe the answer is:
matisse
'nice draughtsman' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'forgetting university in paper postgraduate?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'paper' could be 'i' (the i is a UK newspaper) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'postgraduate?' could be 'ma' (Master of Arts is a postgraduate degree) and 'ma' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for matisse that I've seen before include "French painter, d. 1954" , "Is mates turned on the French painter" , "Henri --, French artist" , "Henri -, C twenty Fr. painter, sculptor, illustrator" , "Henri -, Fr. artist" .)
