Henri Matisse Christmas Night Metal Bookmark

The 83-year-old Matisse was commissioned by the Time-Life Company in 1952 to create a window celebrating Christmas. His mockup was cut paper, translated into stained glass, and shown at Rockefeller Center. In a comment to Alfred H. Barr Jr., then director of the Museum of Modern Art, Matisse compared the final, roughly 11-foot-tall window to a “performance by an orchestra.”
