This 1960 edition was printed in Berlin by Thormann \u0026amp; Goetsch and represents a mid-century effort to disseminate Matisse’s \"papiers découpés\" (cut-out) method to a wider institutional audience. The publication followed the MoMA’s 1960 exhibition of the original Jazz portfolio, which had been donated by the artist in 1948.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlates:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Contains 16 lithographic reproductions selected from the twenty original 1947 Editions Verve plates, plus an additional cover illustration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eText:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Includes the artist’s handwritten French text (reproduced lithographically) alongside English translations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDocumentation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Features a two-page postscript by E.

The lithography in this 1960 printing is noted for its high degree of color fidelity, particularly within the saturation of the gouache-toned plates. The layout preserves the relationship between the chromatic elements and Matisse’s hand-rendered calligraphy, which was designed to provide a rhythmic counterpoint to the visual compositions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition Summary:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBinding:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Original illustrated paper-covered boards.
