Original exhibition poster produced for the 1963 Galerie Maeght exhibition Georges Braque : papiers colles 1912–1914. The poster features a study by Braque and relates to his pioneering work in papier collé, a key development within early Cubism.
Georges Braque (1882–1963) was one of the principal figures in the development of Cubism, working closely with Pablo Picasso in the early 20th century. His introduction of collage elements into painting, particularly between 1912 and 1914, marked a significant moment in modern art, expanding the language of composition through the use of paper, texture, and layered imagery. Beyond Cubism, Braque continued a long and influential career focused largely on still life and spatial exploration.
Galerie Maeght played an important role in exhibiting major modern artists and was known for its strong program of twentieth-century painting, sculpture, and graphic works. This poster was issued in conjunction with the 1963 exhibition dedicated to Braque’s early collage work.

Original exhibition poster produced for Galerie Melki in Paris, featuring Josef Albers’ celebrated Homage to the Square series. This example is the yellow color variation, reflecting Albers’ exploration of color relationships through nested square forms.
Josef Albers (1888–1976), a key figure of the Bauhaus, was known for his rigorous approach to color and form. Through the Homage to the Square series, begun in 1950, Albers examined how colors interact and influence one another when placed in simple geometric arrangements. His work had a lasting impact on modern art and design, further reinforced by his influential publication Interaction of Color.
