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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade of 7 ply Grade A Canadian Maple Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1 Easyfix wall mount included per deck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e8 x 31 in. skateboard deck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e© 2024 Succession H.
