'Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs' is Back in Stock!

We are delighted to announce that the MoMA bestseller Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs is back in stock. In her Introduction, curator Jodi Hauptman quotes the artist: "It is no longer the brush that slips and slides over the canvas, it is the scissors that cut into the paper and into the color. The conditions of the journey are 100 per cent different. The contour of the figure springs from the discovery of the scissors that give it the movement of circulating life. This tool doesn’t modulate, it doesn’t brush on, but it incises in, underline this well, because the criteria of observation will be different." Featured here are two 1951 cover maquettes for the exhibition catalog Henri Matisse.
