Lithographic poster. Printed for the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, where the original three panel wall mural resides.

In 1930, at the age of 61, Henri Matisse met Doctor Albert Barnes, an American millionaire and modern art collector, founder of the Barnes foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania. Albert Barnes proposed a mural commission for his foundation, leaving Matisse free to choose the subject. Between 1930 and 1933, Henri Matisse worked almost exclusively on this huge project, which was a creative milestone in his career. He chose dance, which had been one of his favourite themes for a number of years, as the subject of the work. Never having created a work in an architectural setting, the commission was a great challenge for Matisse. Three versions of La Danse exist; two of them are in the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.

In 1947 Henri Matisse created a series of stunning paper cut-outs which he then arranged into compositions producing a unique work of art that has been referred to as the visual counterpart of jazz music. “Using a pair of scissors I simply cut into the paper which had been painted beforehand and, in one single movement, joined line to colour and outline to surface.”

The circus provided the inspiration for more than half of the motifs - performing artists, the curtain, the star or flame, and balancing acts, with figures both standing and falling. The other images were Matisse's response to Jazz. Matisse, wrote Riva Castleman, has taught the eye to hear.

In 2004 they were brilliantly reinterpreted by the great Parisian lithographers, Idem Mourlot. The intensity of colour is stunning. These lithographs were published in an edition of 1500. Centre fold as issued.
