StabiLiebling: Henri Matisse: Jazz

In the organizer's words:

StabiLiebling. A top piece. Two days. Very close.

HENRI MATISSE: JAZZ.
Drawing with scissors.

Under the motto "StabiLiebling", the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek is opening its vaults and presenting a top piece from its collections in its treasure chamber for two days every month.

Matisse took up scissors in his final creative phase. Between 1943 and 1947, he created "Jazz", one of the most famous artist's books of the 20th century.

It features bright, clear, saturated colors from which he cut out a seemingly cheerful world of motifs. Only a second glance reveals war, violence and fear. We invite you to take a first and second look at this stroke of modernist genius. (BSB shelfmark: L.sel.III 33)

Let yourself be inspired by centuries-old cultural treasures in the original - behind glass, but still very close: a special art experience and interesting facts about the "StabiLiebling" await you.

Free introductory lectures on both days at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. (no registration required, meeting point Fürstensaal 1st floor)
