after Henri Matisse Icarus from the book Jazz textile art
after Henri Matisse Icarus (plate VIII from the illustrated book Jazz) handmade textile measures approximately: 28 3/4" W x 52 1/2" H Please note that shipping charges are inclusive of insurance, payment processing and carrier fees. About Icarus This bold and playful image is one of twenty plates Matisse created to illustrate his groundbreaking book "Jazz." The illustrations derive from maquettes of cut and pasted colored papers, which were then printed using a stencil technique known as "pochoir." Here, the mythological figure Icarus is presented in a simplified form floating against a royal blue nighttime sky. Matisse's flat, abstracted forms and large areas of pure color marked an important change in the direction of his later work and ultimately influenced "hard-edge" artists of the 1960s like Ellsworth Kelly and Al Held.
