Henri Matisse. "Jazz"
Exhibition December 31, 2019 − March 1, 2020
The State Hermitage Museum presents an exhibition“Henri Matisse. Jazz".
The exposition is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of Henri Matisse and introduces visitors to the most famous and most unusual book of the master "Jazz".
Work on it began in 1943-1944, when, on the initiative of the publisher, Teriada Matisse made a series of decoupage. He cut out silhouette shapes from gouache-dyed paper, and then assembled compositions from them, securing the clippings with pins, buttons or glue. The "Jazz" summarizes the many years of experience of Matisse - a painter and graphic artist who explores the foundations of the visual language. Decoupage plots are inspired by "memories of the circus, of folk tales or travels." "Jazz" played a key role in the late work of Matisse. Decoupage became a favorite technique of the master and in the late 1940s largely replaced painting for him.
