cimorene: abstract deconstructed tapestry in bright colors (blocks)
[personal profile] cimorene
Henri Matisse had already had a long career as one of the leading figures in the modern art movement before cancer surgery left him in a wheelchair and unable to paint any longer at the age of 74, in 1941. That same year Matisse began making cut-paper collages; his assistants helped prepare the collages for printing. The art book Jazz, issued in 1947, marked his public transition to a new medium of art and was very well received. The prints in the book, originally intended as magazine covers, were released as an artist's folio by the publisher in a limited edition printing accompanied by the artist's thoughts, and were inspired by his life experiences.
