Originally published in 1947 by Éditions Tériade in Paris, Jazz is one of Henri Matisse’s most celebrated artist’s books and a landmark of 20th-century modern art. It presents Matisse’s vibrant gouaches découpées (paper cut-outs), accompanied by his handwritten reflections, and is considered one of the defining works of his late career.
