Icarus — Jazz (1947) is an artist's book of about one hundred prints based on paper cutouts by Henri Matisse. Matisse was in his seventies and in poor health when he began this project; he could no longer draw or paint easily with a pencil or brush. He used scissors to cut out simple forms from brightly colored paper painted to his specifications with gouache, then arranged them on another sheet of gouache-painted paper. ~ Wikipedia
