Henri Matisse’s Jazz is a limited-edition art book containing prints of colorful cut-paper collages, accompanied by the artist's written thoughts. It was first issued on September 30, 1947, by art publisher Tériade. The portfolio, characterized by vibrant colors, poetic texts, and circus and theater themes, marks Matisse's transition to a new form of medium.
In 1983, publisher George Braziller teamed up with the Estate of Henri Matisse and the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) to create a special edition reproduction of Matisse's Jazz portfolio which included reproductions of the beautiful original pochoirs by Matisse that the 1947 portfolio included.
Up for sale here is a reproduction of one of those pochoirs. These are the finest reproductions available, with bold and true colors, for this highly desired portfolio of Matisse.
