Matisse Jazz Prints Set of 3 – The Lagoon in Green, The Knife Thrower, The Codomas

Three plates from Matisse’s book Jazz, together in one set: The Lagoon in Green, The Knife Thrower and The Codomas. This set brings them together as 3 art prints, at 20% off the price of the three posters bought separately.

Jazz, published in 1947, is the book in which Matisse turned to paper cut-outs: shapes cut with scissors from sheets he had painted with gouache, then printed as colour plates. Its pages mix memories of the circus and of travel. The Codomas, named after a family of trapeze artists, turns their act into two blue bars and a yellow net dotted with black squares. The Knife Thrower freezes the moment before the throw: a pale blue figure faces a jagged pink shape. The Lagoon in Green recalls the coral lagoons Matisse discovered in Tahiti in 1930. Lime green, cream and orange, with black shapes running through all three: hung in a row or a column, the three plates make a lively trio for a living room, a hallway or a children’s room.
