Henri Matisse, Papiers Decoupes France 1955 Exhibition Poster

This is a reproduction of the 1955 exhibition poster from Berggruen & Cie in Paris, advertising Henri Matisse's Papiers Découpés. The poster announces the work that defined the final phase of Matisse's career, when he moved from painting to cut paper as his primary medium. It carries the authority of the moment and the gallery.

Exhibition posters work in entryways, studies, and living rooms where they anchor a collection of art-historical or modern-art prints. Pair it with other mid-century gallery posters or hang it alone as a statement piece. It reads well in a neutral or white frame that lets the poster speak.

Art historians, Matisse admirers, and collectors of modern exhibition ephemera are the audience. Give it to someone studying art history, or to a friend who collects vintage posters and gallery announcements from the Paris art scene.
