The Knife Thrower (French: Le Lanceur De Couteaux) is a paper cut by Henri Matisse from 1947. It was one of twenty collage illustrations featured in Matisse's book Jazz, 1947. It is held in the Menil Collection, in Houston.
History Tériade, a noted 20th-century art publisher, arranged to have Matisse's cutouts rendered as pochoir (stencil) prints. The Knife Thrower was a popular print from Henri Matisse's Jazz portfolio of pochoir prints.
