No, but I know a woman who might, will get back to you ....
Matisse's papiers coupes are made from sheets of paper painted in gouache by assistants, in all the colours he used. A background of white paper - was put on the wall and the assistant pinned onto it the pieces of gouached paper which Matisse. passed to him, indicating exactly where they should be placed. Unlike his contemporaries, Matisse was careful to select light-resistant pigments and good-quality materials in the construction of his collages, which partly accounts for the good condition today.
He used Canson & Montgolfier paper, painted with Linel Gouaches for his later works (the snail) The paper has been made since 1557, the Canson paper mill in Annonay, France was started by the Montgolfier family (best known for the adaptation of their paper to the 1783 invention of the first hot air balloon) and carried on by the Canson family.

I remember watching a documentary on Matisse and he painted onto paper (probably watercolor paper) and made the cut outs.
Here is what also reinforced this idea:
"To protect the pigments and paper of the Matisse cutouts, the light level in the gallery is reduced..."
and for people who don't know what we are discussing:
"His( Henri Matisse) technique involved the freehand cutting of colored papers into beautiful shapes, which he then pinned loosely to the white studio walls, later adjusting, recutting, combining, and recombining them to his satisfaction. The result created an environment that transcended the boundaries of conventional painting, drawing, and sculpture. Later, the shapes were glued to large white paper backgrounds for shipping or display."

No...but try a good art supply store sometimes the sales people are artists. Also try a well known art school someone may be able to get you going in the right direction...

I don't know what kind of paper, but it seems like I've heard that he painted the paper to be the colors he wanted...
I've seen his art. I was impressed :)
