Jazz by Henri Matisse

Print on Cotton Canvas

Published in 1947, Jazz is a groundbreaking artist’s book by Henri Matisse, featuring a series of vibrant paper cut-outs accompanied by handwritten text. Created while Matisse was recovering from surgery and working from a wheelchair, the series marks a bold shift from painting to his innovative “cut-out” technique. The dynamic compositions—bursting with color, rhythm, and movement—draw inspiration from the circus, dance, and music, especially the improvisational energy of jazz. Jazz is both a celebration of life and a powerful expression of Matisse’s enduring creativity in the face of physical limitation.
