Cut-outs were his preferred technique at the time, while the solid blue (which represented distance and volume) was a remnant of the artist's bold Fauvist palette and his experimentations with line and color. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure depicted on the triptych is said to have been inspired by MATISSE’s collection of African sculptures, as well as his travels to Tahiti. The poses of each of the “Blue Nudes” have been intricately constructed, sometimes over periods of multiple weeks, to achieve their voluminous and sculptural quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© 2024 Succession H.

He decided to use his then-preferred technique of cut-outs, filling the pages with carefully crafted collages and clashing colors on gouache-painted paper. His initial inspiration was the circus and its iconography of lonely acrobats, folklore and distant travels. Later, the publisher suggested “Jazz” as a title, which led the artist to visually explore the link between art and musical improvisation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solo edition depicts an artwork created by Matisse for a poster that announced the first exhibition of the “Jazz” illustrated book at the Pierre Beres Gallery in 1947. Four white birds are traversing somewhat chaotically through a solid blue background. In so few lines, MATISSE managed to capture a scene which is both dynamic and balanced, building heavily on the color blue - a symbol of distance and volume. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e© 2024 Succession H.
