A quest for light, colour, and freedom
The book “A Life in Colour” highlights the life and work of Henri Matisse, one of the most important artists of the 20th century.

He is considered a master of colour, known for his innovative paper-cutting technique and his influential role in the Fauvist movement.
This book traces Matisse’s artistic development, from his early works to his late works created in Nice. With over a hundred reproductions of his most famous works, you will experience the expressive world of Matisse and at the same time gain intimate insights into his personal life and the influences that shaped him.
HENRI MATISSE JAZZ
Drawing with Scissors
In Jazz, Matisse composes with scissors what he could no longer paint with brushes. From this limitation emerged a new kind of freedom – a whirlwind of shapes and colours, a dance that is both joyful and profound. Page after page, he cuts, paces, invents a visual language of striking intensity, somewhere between abstraction and figuration.
Conceived as an artist’s book, Jazz brings together the famous cut-outs and handwritten texts in which Matisse reflects on art, colour, music, and life. The silence of the images enters into a dialogue with the words – like breaths, surges, pauses.
A final masterpiece, Jazz is also a celebration of vitality, movement, and light – a timeless work that still dazzles with its expressive force and brilliance.
