Late in his life, confined to a chair or bed, Matisse transformed a
simple technique into a medium for the creation of a major art. I
have attained a form filtered to its essentials. Cutting dynamic
shapes from painted paper, Matisse created his images. While
producing pieces for Jazz, the artist used a large brush to write
notes to himself on construction paper. The simple visual
appearance of the words pleased Matisse, and he suggested using his
reflective handwritten thoughts in juxtaposition with the images.
The original edition of Jazz was an artist s book, printed in a
limited quantity. This selection from the original is an exquisite
suite of color plates and text that, like the music it was named
for, was invented in a spirit of improvisation and spontaneity.
These magnificent cut-outs of pure color celebrate the radiance and
emotional intensity of the artist s oeuvre. "
