After 1939 he became increasingly active as a graphic artist and in 1947 published Jazz, a book of reflections on art and life with brilliantly coloured illustrations made by "drawing with scissors": the motifs were pasted together after being cut out of sheets of coloured paper.
He was ill during most of his last 13 years; he designed the magnificent Chapelle du Rosaire at Vence (1948-51) as a gift to the Dominican nuns who cared for him. His well-known paintings include Joy of Life (1906), The Red Studio (1915), Piano Lesson (1916), and The Dance I and The Dance II(1931-33).
In the literary arena, the wartime love story A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway and A Room of One's Own by Virginia Wolff (both 1929) also enter Public Domain.
