Entirely designed by Matisse between 1943 and 1947 at the request of publisher Tériade, Jazz is the fruit of a period of introspection and renewal for the artist. While recuperating, he develops the technique of cut gouaches. The images he creates, “crystallizations of memories of the circus, of folk tales or of travels,” are an explosion of bright colors and bold shapes. “Cutting into color with immediacy reminds me of the direct carving of sculptors. This book was conceived in that spirit.”
