| book description |

By 1947, Matisse â€“ in his seventies and suffering poor health â€“ much preferred the simple, fluid act of cutting forms from painted paper to drawing or painting. It was his intention to use this assemblage technique to illustrate a collection of poems, which would be printed as a limited edition book. As this project evolved, Matisseâ€™s notes, written with a paintbrush in looping letters, became integral, and the publisher agreed that they should replace the poems. They appear here in their original â€˜roughâ€™ form, creating a visual counterpoint to the images. Henri Matisse Jazz has stood the test of time, and is regarded as one of Matisseâ€™s greatest achievements â€“ its original illustrations still exhibited as significant works in their own right. This edition is accompanied by a special book mounted on the reverse of the presentation boxâ€™s cover, featuring both a translation of Matisseâ€™s text and two new essays: one examining its principal place among other artistsâ€™ books, and the other surveying the history of artistsâ€™ books as a field
