Drawing with scissors: The revolutionary late-period work by
Matisse Towards the end of his monumental career as a painter,
sculptor, and lithographer, an elderly, sickly Matisse was unable
to stand and use a paintbrush for a longer period of time. In this
late phase of his life he was almost 80 years of age he developed
the technique of carving into color, creating bright, bold paper
cut-outs. Though dismissed by some contemporary critics as the
folly of a senile old man, these gouaches decoupees (gouache
cut-outs) in fact represented a revolution in modern art, a whole
new medium that re-imagined the age-old conflict between color and
line. This fresh, standard TASCHEN edition of our original
prize-winning XL volume provides a thorough historical context to
Matisse s cut-outs, tracing their roots in his 1930 trip to Tahiti,
through to his final years in Nice. It includes many photos of
Matisse, some rare color images, by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassai,
and the filmmaker Murnau and text from Matisse, Picasso, publisher
E. Teriade, the poets Louis Aragon, Henri Michaux, and Pierre
Reverdy, and Matisse s son-in-law, Georges Duthuit. In their
deceptive simplicity, the cut-outs achieved both a sculptural
quality and an early minimalist abstraction which would profoundly
influence generations of artists to come. Exuberant, multi-hued,
and often grand in scale, these works are true pillars of 20th
century art, and as bold and innovative to behold today as they
were in Matisse s lifetime."
