Published in conjunction with the most comprehensive exhibition
ever devoted to the paper cut-outs Henri Matisse made from the
early 1940s until his death in 1954, this paperback edition
presents approximately 150 works in a groundbreaking reassessment
of the artist's colorful and innovative final chapter. The result
of new research by conservators and curators, the catalogue
explores a host of technical and conceptual issues: the artist's
methods and materials and the role and function of the works in his
practice; their economy of means and exploitation of decorative
strategies; their environmental aspects; and their double lives,
first as contingent and mutable in the studio and ultimately made
permanent, a transformation accomplished by mounting and framing.
Richly illustrated to present the cut-outs in all of their vibrancy
and luminosity, the book includes an introduction and a
conservation essay that consider the cut-outs from new theoretical
and technical perspectives, and five thematic essays, each focusing
on a different moment in the development of the cut-out practice,
that provide a chronicle of this radical medium's unfolding. Period
photographs show the works in progress in Matisse's studio.
One of modern art's towering figures, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was
a painter, draftsman, sculptor and printmaker before turning to
paper cut-outs in the 1940s. From the clashing hues of his Fauvist
works, made in the South of France in 1904-5, to the harmonies of
his Nice interiors from the 1920s to this brilliant final chapter,
Matisse's career followed a path that he described as "construction
by means of color."
