“Drawing with scissors”—that’s how Henri Matisse described the unique creative freedom he felt using the medium of cut paper to create works of art, like his celebrated artist's book, "Jazz." Ahead of the opening of "Matisse's Jazz: Rhythms in Color," discover the story behind this wildly successful book with exhibition curator Emily Ziemba. And see the exhibition on view March 7. Images: Henri Matisse's “Icarus" and “The Horse, the Rider, and the Clown," both from "Jazz,” 1947. Printed by Edmon
