Henri Matisse - 1947 - Icarus, plate VIII from the illustrated book, "Jazz"

This bold and playful image is one of twenty plates Matisse created to illustrate his groundbreaking book "Jazz." The illustrations derive from maquettes of cut and pasted colored papers, which were then printed using a stencil technique known as "pochoir." Here, the mythological figure Icarus is presented in a simplified form floating against a royal blue nighttime sky. Matisse's flat, abstracted forms and large areas of pure color marked an important change in the direction of his later work and ultimately influenced "hard-edge" artists of the 1960s like Ellsworth Kelly and Al Held.

There’s a first time for everything. Due to severe weather conditions, Drink n Draw is experiencing its first ever cancellation. Thankfully, we have re-scheduled the event for Friday, March 9th. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We hope the new date will provide conditions more suitable for a social and creative gathering. Please be safe traveling today and we will see you next week!

Sincerely,

New Rochelle Arts Collective
