Cut - Outs. 40th Ed. - Hardcover","description":"Binding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nDescription: Toward the end of his monumental career as a painter sculptor and lithographer an elderly sickly Matisse was unable to stand and use a paintbrush for long. In this late phase of his life he was almost 80 years of age he developed the technique of carving into color creating bright bold paper cut - outs. Though dismissed by some contemporary critics as the folly of a senile old man these gouaches decoup es (gouache cut - outs) in fact represented a revolution in modern art a whole new medium that reimagined the age - old conflict between color and line. This edition of the first volume of our original award - winning XXL book provides a thorough historical context to Matisse's cut - outs tracing their roots to his 1930 trip to Tahiti and continuing through to his final years in Nice. It includes many photos of Matisse as well as some rare images by Henri Cartier - Bresson and the filmmaker F. W. Murnau with texts by Matisse publisher E. T riade the poets Louis Aragon Henri Michaux and Pierre Reverdy and Matisse's son - in - law Georges Duthuit. In their deceptive simplicity the cut - outs achieved both a sculptural quality and an early minimalist abstraction which would profoundly influence generations of artists to come. Exuberant multi - hued and often grand in scale these works are true pillars of 20th - century art and as bold and innovative to behold today as they were in Matisse's lifetime.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Matisse.
