MATISSE, Henri
 
The Kinfe Thrower; fine lithograph from Jazz, in first American edition, printed by Ernst Wartelsteiner for George Braziller, New York in 1983.
 
Description
 
Fine lithograph in multicolour, a very good impression to wove paper. Near fine condition and without colour loss.
The Jazz suite is widely said to be Matisse’s answer Jazz music itself. It was a pivotal, ground breaking transition in his career, where he developed the artistic technique of drawing with scissors or carving into colour.
Framed and glazed; ultramodern wooden frame with grey finishing.
