The graphic showcases Matisse's 1951 paper cutout composition titled "La Vis" (The Wine Press). The layout was custom produced by Malcolm Grear Designers to commemorate the landmark multi-institutional exhibition running at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, from September 11 to October 23, 1977, before traveling to the Detroit Institute of Arts and the St. Louis Art Museum. The artwork incorporates abstract botanical leaf shapes, geometric motifs, and organic collage profiles rendered in intense blue, green, yellow, purple, and red color blocks. Typography elements below the imagery outline historical catalog credits and federal endowment sponsorships. The piece is permanently housed in a custom, archival clear acrylic box frame featuring a recessed wood base and finished structural side returns. Fabrication was completed by Jerry Solomon Enterprises, Inc., a custom picture framing company located on North La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles, California. The original professional framing label is retained on the reverse side of the assembly. The vintage acrylic box casing remains structurally sound with the rear hanging wire securely intact, displaying minor superficial surface wear, light scuffs, and a minimal amount of trapped dust/debris beneath the plexiglass face consistent with age and careful residential display. Corner acrylic flea bites. Please see all photos and the video. Display ready rare collection piece.
