The Circus (Jazz) (1947) by Henri Matisse is a vibrant, dynamic series of cut-out compositions from his groundbreaking Jazz portfolio. Created during his late period, these works feature bold, simplified shapes—acrobats, performers, and animals—rendered in vivid gouache-painted paper. The fluid, rhythmic forms evoke the energy of a circus while showcasing Matisse’s mastery of color and abstraction. Though physically constrained by illness, he reinvented his art through this "cut-drawing" technique, merging spontaneity with precision. The Jazz series, including The Circus, bridges illustration
