Unknown Author

4.9/5 (21978 ratings)

Description:Although Henri Matisse's paintings and drawings are some of the most revered in the art world, his cutouts are widely believed to represent the culmination of his artistic career. This elegantly produced volume presents all aspects of Matisse's cutouts, from the early models for Jazz to the large scale works that dominated his final creative period. When Jazz, Matisse's revolutionary handmade book of paper cutouts, was published in the early 1940s, it was considered a dramatic new step for the artist. In his paintings Matisse had long been working toward a goal of a perfect synthesis of line and color. By putting scissor to colored paper, he was able to refine his technique, and eventually came to see the cutout as his primary artistic medium. This collection of reproductions and critical essays offers a chance to appreciate the full spectrum of Matisse's work in this medium and presents fascinating new discoveries about their connection to his earliest works, methods and philosophies. This new look at one of Matisse's most fertile creative periods examines an oeuvre of visionary power, which today seems more contemporary than ever. Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was born in Picardy, France and studied art in Paris. He is considered one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. His work is characterized by brilliant colors, stylized shapes, flowered backgrounds and flat patterns with arabesques.The author, Max Hollein, formerly of the Guggenheim Museum in New York, is currently Director of the Schirn Kunsthalle Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
