Drawing on memories of Parisian music halls, the circus, his travels to Tahiti, as well as folklore and mythology, he created twenty vibrant maquettes. These compositions were then reproduced using pochoir and accompanied by texts written by Matisse to form the artist book <em>Jazz<\/em>, published in 1947.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Matisse\u2019s Jazz<\/strong><\/em> illustrates the artist\u2019s ongoing exploration of color and line. Through his cut-outs, Matisse achieved a rare unification of these elements, elevating color from a purely visual domain to an almost transcendental level and simplifying line to its most elemental expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhibition marks the first full presentation of <em>Jazz<\/em> since its acquisition by the Art Institute in 1948. It also brings together over fifty works from the museum\u2019s collection, offering a compelling journey through Matisse\u2019s continual innovation and expressive power. Curated by <strong>Emily Ziemba<\/strong>, Director of Curatorial Administration and Curator of Prints and Drawings, the exhibition celebrates one of the most important artist books of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6970211,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[236],"app_city_tax":[223],"app_event_type":[242],"class_list":["post-6968911","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-museums","app_city_tax-chi","app_event_type-exhibition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Matisse\u2019s Jazz: Rhythms in Color \u2014 A Celebration of Cut Paper, Color, and Line - Villa Albertine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover Matisse\u2019s Jazz, an exhibition showcasing Henri Matisse\u2019s late-career cut-paper works.
