The artwork originates from Matisse’s famous art book Jazz (1947), where Icarus, with arms outstretched, symbolizes the human aspiration for freedom. Matisse’s signature cut-out technique, with vibrant blue and yellow tones, is beautifully reproduced on this mug.

What makes this mug unique is the inclusion of a handwritten note by Matisse, faithfully reproduced from a 1960 facsimile edition. The text reads:

"Mes courbes ne sont pas folles. Le fil à plomb en déterminant la direction verticale forme avec son opposé l’horizontale."
("My curves are not random. The plumb line, in determining the vertical direction, forms its opposite, the horizontal.")

This note offers a rare glimpse into Matisse's philosophy, lending a personal, authentic touch to the design.
