This exclusive postcard was created in celebration of the exhibition Matisse’s "Jazz" Unbound on view at the de Young museum, located in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California. Henri Matisse, V – Horse, Rider and Clown, 1947. Printed in the USA. Measures 5 x 7 in.

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.

Matisse’s Jazz* Unbound*

In the final decades of a prolific career, modern artist Henri Matisse (1869–1954) took up book illustration. This exhibition celebrates our 2024 acquisition of Jazz, Matisse’s 1947 artist book on the circus and theater. Jazzincludes 20 color stencil prints (pochoirs) of popular subjects on these themes, from horses to ringmasters. The prints were created using the artist’s lively paper cutouts, what Matisse called “drawing with scissors.” Published by the innovative Greek publisher Tériade (Stratis Eleftheriadis), it is considered the pinnacle of Matisse’s graphic art.
