Kurzbeschreibung
This title brings back to life the most important result of Matisse's cut-outs period: Jazz, the legendary suite of twenty colorful prints with calligraphic text. With this, readers can experience Jazz as if they were beholding the 1947 original. For the position as most important artist of the modern era, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was rivaled only by Picasso, who himself once said, 'All things considered, there is only Matisse'. After a truly monumental career as a painter, sculptor, and lithographer, Matisse was struck down by illness and no longer able to stand upright and use a paintbrush. At this late stage in his life - he was nearly 80 - he developed a technique of drawing shapes on brightly colored paper, which he then cut out; these were called gouaches decoupes (gouache cut-outs) and came to represent a revolution in modern art. Many critics at the time dismissed this work as the folly of a senile old man, but today it is common sense that by using scissors to carve shapes out of paper, Matisse found a brilliant solution to the age-old conflict between drawing and color. Printed using the same paper and inks - in up to 16 colors - as for the original 1947 edition, this volume allows readers to experience Jazz as if they were beholding the original. To put the work in context, the complete story of Matisse's cut-outs is traced from its first origins during the artist's trip to Tahiti in 1930 through the late works during his final years in Nice. Also included are other pivotal works from his later career, including Matisse's contributions to Verve magazine and his decoration of the Vence Chapel. The gorgeous reproductions of Matisse's work are accompanied by rare photographs taken by Matisse in Tahiti as well as photos of Matisse by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassai, and the filmmaker Murnau. Gilles Neret's text is supplemented by quotations from Matisse, Picasso, Teriade (the publisher of "Jazz and Verve"), poets such as Aragon, Henri Michaux, and Pierre Reverdy, and Matisse's son-in-law, Georges Duthuit, as well as collectors such as Heinz and Oliver Berggruen.

Love Matisse? Buy this RIGHT AWAY!

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is spectacular! Matisse JAZZ is an exacting replica that aims to reproduce the feeling of holding an original 1948 printing of his last great body of work. As an old man, Henri Matisse was too arthritic to hold paint brushes but could still push scissors through paper and indicate to his assistants where they should be glued down. This folio is such a close reproduction as to show the texture of the construction paper that he cut up,the subtle pencil marks he made, the variations of intensity in color from the gouache on paper. Even if you know this series well from other books, you'll be delighted with the immediacy of holding these.
The commentary, in his own hand, looks like the ink had just dried on the paper. The (reproductions of the original) Lithographs are NOT STITCHED or stapled but folded into a folio and are ready for framing. The book Matisse CUT-OUTS replicates the six monographs that were published during Matisse's lifetime about his work with paper. There are many photographs, sharply and clearly reproduced. This is a handsome volume that will bring many years of great enjoyment.
I've never insisted that anyone looking at my books wash their hands before handling them. This is and exception because it is exceptional- a true heirloom edition of a great body of work. Buy it while you can.

matisse - cut-outs
15. Juni 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a glorious book on a glorious artist. If you want to know about Matisse you'll need a lot of space on your bookshelf, but for his cut-outs these two volumes will do. They cover this aspect of Matisse's art completely and satisfactorily. The reprint of Jazz is done in a way M would have approved: large size (you could show each print individually framed on the wall), bright colours, the appropriate paper. And the other volume will lead you into the amazing paper world that M created in his last years. If you take the time to read the text you will end up an expert on the subject. Jaap Ferwerda

Bright!

This is what we all did as a little kid. Cutting out little figures with scissors (stay between the lines!!!) and glueing them on another paper. But Henri Matisse brings this to other dimensions: enormous "paintings" with the most intense colours. We thought that indeed the brightness of the colours is the most tremendous and special "asset" of this book. No need to go to France to visit the Matisse-museum; open this book and you're already there!
