Consisting of a portfolio book of twenty plates featuring abstract compositions, inspired by circus, ballet, and historical events, Jazz (1947) is considered the culminating masterpiece of Henri Matisse as a graphic artist, reflecting his deeper more experimental involvement with printmaking and cutouts. In Matisse's development of the cutout technique, Jazz marks a creative milestone, as the cutout is used for the first time as a medium rather than a compositional tool.
