Original vintage 1984 exhibition poster for Henri Matisse: Œuvres Gravées, presented at Galerie Maeght Lelong in Paris from October 4 through November 15, 1984.
Featuring one of Matisse’s unmistakable linear portraits, the composition demonstrates the remarkable economy of line for which his drawings and graphic works are celebrated. The expressive black line drawing is paired with restrained burgundy typography announcing the exhibition and the Galerie Maeght Lelong address at 13 rue de Téhéran, Paris.
Printed in Paris by Société Nouvelle de l’Imprimerie Moderne du Lion, whose printer’s credit appears along the lower edge. This is an original period exhibition poster dating to 1984, not a contemporary reproduction.
The poster remains on its vintage lightweight rigid display backing with slim brown edging and its original-style hanging hardware on the reverse. It may be displayed as shown or removed from the existing mounting and professionally framed to suit the buyer’s preference.
A sophisticated example of 1980s French gallery ephemera and an appealing piece for collectors of Henri Matisse, French modernism, and vintage European exhibition posters.
