●内容简介——

在他作为画家、雕塑家和石版画家的不朽生涯即将结束时，年老多病的马蒂斯无法长时间站立和使用画笔。在他生命的这个晚期阶段--他已经快80岁了--他开发了 "雕刻成彩色 "的技术，创造出明亮、大胆的剪纸作品。虽然被一些当代评论家认为是一个耄耋老人的愚蠢行为，但这些水粉剪纸实际上代表了现代艺术的一场革命，一种全新的媒介，重新想象了色彩和线条之间的古老冲突。

我们最初获奖的XXL书的一卷的这个版本为马蒂斯的剪纸作品提供了详细的历史背景，追溯到他1930年的大溪地之行，并一直持续到他在尼斯的最后几年。书中包括许多马蒂斯的照片，以及亨利-卡蒂埃-布列松和电影制片人F.W.默尔瑙的一些罕见图片，还有马蒂斯、出版商E.Teriade、诗人Louis Aragon、Henri Michaux和Pierre Reverdy，以及马蒂斯的女婿Georges Duthuit的文字。

在其欺骗性的简单性中，这些剪纸作品实现了雕塑的质量和早期的极简主义抽象，这将深刻地影响未来几代艺术家。这些作品热情洋溢、色彩丰富、规模宏大，是20世纪艺术的真正支柱，在今天看来，它们和马蒂斯生前一样大胆、创新。

关于该系列

TASCHEN 40岁了! 自从1980年我们作为文化考古学家开始工作以来，TASCHEN已经成为无障碍出版的代名词，帮助世界各地的书虫以无可匹敌的价格策划他们自己的艺术、人类学和阿芙乐的图书馆。今天，我们通过坚持我们公司的信条来庆祝40年来的不可思议的书籍。40系列介绍了我们项目中一些明星的新版本--现在更紧凑，价格更亲民，而且仍然以同样的承诺实现无可挑剔的制作。

Toward the end of his monumental career as a painter, sculptor, and lithographer, an elderly, sickly Matisse was unable to stand and use a paintbrush for long. In this late phase of his life―he was almost 80 years of age―he developed the technique of “carving into color,” creating bright, bold paper cut-outs. Though dismissed by some contemporary critics as the folly of a senile old man, these gouaches decoupees (gouache cut-outs) in fact represented a revolution in modern art, a whole new medium that reimagined the age-old conflict between color and line.

This edition of the first volume of our original award-winning XXL book provides a thorough historical context to Matisse’s cut-outs, tracing their roots to his 1930 trip to Tahiti and continuing through to his final years in Nice.

In their deceptive simplicity, the cut-outs achieved both a sculptural quality and an early minimalist abstraction, which would profoundly influence generations of artists to come. Exuberant, multi-hued, and often grand in scale, these works are true pillars of 20th-century art, and as bold and innovative to behold today as they were in Matisse’s lifetime.
