This striking Henri Matisse exhibition poster, titled 'Le Grand Atelier, 1935–1948,' was produced for a major retrospective held at the Musée Matisse in Nice from June 25 to October 2, 1994. It features Matisse’s celebrated painting 'La Grande Robe bleue et mauve' (1937), showcasing his mastery of colour, composition, and decorative form.

The poster highlights the artist’s later creative period, when he shifted from oil painting to vibrant paper cut-outs and monumental works that redefined modern art. With its bold use of red, yellow, and deep blue, the image captures Matisse’s signature harmony between figure and background. Designed and printed in France, this museum edition is both a tribute to Matisse’s Nice years and a collectible example of 1990s exhibition poster art celebrating one of modernism’s most influential painters.
