A beautiful tribute to one of Matisse’s rare exhibition posters, this 1959 lithograph was printed by the legendary Mourlot studio for the renowned Art in Posters project by Fernand Mourlot and Éditions Sauret. It reproduces the original 1953 poster created by Matisse to promote The Sculpture of Matisse and Three Paintings with Studies at The Tate Gallery in London, hosted by The Arts Council.

Executed in Matisse’s iconic late cut-out style (gouaches découpées), this striking composition combines floral abstraction with a bold black line drawing of a female figure. The vivid blues, reds, and yellows are hallmarks of Matisse’s joyful color palette, and Mourlot’s printing preserves the integrity and vibrancy of the original.

This is not a reprint or reproduction, but a genuine lithograph printed in 1959 as part of a curated collection celebrating the golden age of 20th-century poster art.

Collectors of modern art, fans of French design, or anyone seeking a historically significant and visually captivating piece for their home or office.
