Henri Matisse Jazz. Drawing with Scissors

In Jazz, Matisse composes with scissors what he could no longer paint with brushes. From this limitation emerged a new kind of freedom — a whirlwind of shapes and colours, a dance that is both joyful and profound. Page after page, he cuts, paces, invents a visual language of striking intensity, somewhere between abstraction and figuration. Conceived as an artist's book, Jazz brings together the famous cut-outs and handwritten texts in which Matisse reflects on art, colour, music, and life. The silence of the images enters into a dialogue with the words — like breaths, surges, pauses. A final masterpiece, Jazz is also a celebration of vitality, movement, and light — a timeless work that still dazzles with its expressive force and brilliance.
