Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954): Pochoirs
|
|
Matisse's later years were in part defined by his physicl condition. Trapped, fopr the most part, in a wheelchais as a result of surgery for stomach cancer, Matisse was largely confined to art that could be made sitting down: drawings, paper cutouts, and designs for larger projects. The pieces below began life as sheets of paper that Matisse handcut and hand-painted. He then directed his assistants where to post them on large sheets of paper. For an issue of Verve devoted to his later works, Matisse supervised the production of lithographs after his paper cutouts. About haldf-way through the project, Matisse died and the works were printed as lithographs after the paper cut outs in a special issue of Verve entitled "Les Derniers Oeuvres de Matisse" and published in 1956. The ones that were produced before his death bear his signature in the stone; those after, lack it.
