Description
Henri Matisse (1869-1954) d'après - Henri Matisse Retrospective Exhibition, UCLA Art Council - Imprimerie Mourlot, 1966. Colour lithograph, 63 x 64 cm. Condition A, perfect state of conservation. Not canvas-backed. This international poster was designed for the prestigious American tour of the Matisse retrospective, which travelled from the UCLA Art Galleries in Los Angeles to the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The work selected to illustrate this major event highlights the absolute mastery of line and simplified composition that revolutionised twentieth-century art. The work was executed by the Mourlot studios in Paris, guaranteeing exceptional chromatic fidelity, making this edition a privileged link between the French avant-garde and the great museum institutions on the other side of the Atlantic. This piece represents the apotheosis of the institutional recognition of Matisse, whose genius continues to radiate far beyond Europe's borders.
