Henri Matisse: Jazz
View through Artsy
In addition to his bold innovations in painting and sculpture, Henri Matisse (1869 – 1954) recognised the expressive potential of printmaking, and over the course of his career, he created a large body of graphic works that both informed and re-articulated themes he explored in other mediums. He also produced several extraordinary artist’s books. Jazz was pivotal in Matisse’s transition from oil painting to the cut-out collages that dominated the last decade of his life.
