While producing pieces for Jazz, the artist used a large brush to write notes to himself on construction paper. The simple visual appearance of the words pleased Matisse, and he suggested using his reflective handwritten thoughts in juxtaposition with the images. The original edition of Jazz was an artist’s book, printed in a limited quantity. This selection from the original is an exquisite suite of color plates and text that, like the music it was named for, was invented in a spirit of improvisation and spontaneity. These magnificent cut-outs of pure color celebrate the radiance and emotional intensity of the artist’s oeuvre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e8.8 x 0.7 x 5.7 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOMA Museum Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41654025945282,"sku":"210000002853","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7963\/6674\/products\/IMG_4539.jpg?v=1645120598","url":"https:\/\/shop.noma.org\/products\/jazz-by-henri-matisse","provider":"New Orleans Museum of Art Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
