    $ 850

    Jean Cocteau – Ville de Nantes / Hommage à Jean Cocteau (1964)

    Original exhibition poster, printed by Mourlot

    This original stone lithograph poster was created for the 1964 exhibition Hommage à Jean Cocteau at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, held shortly after Cocteau’s death. Running from May 21 to June 15, the show honored Cocteau’s legacy with a selection of his drawings, lithographs, theatrical designs, and graphic works.

    Printed by the renowned Atelier Mourlot in Paris, the poster features Cocteau’s line drawing Orpheus with Lyre, a lyrical and minimal composition emblematic of his visual style. The clean typography and spacious layout reflect the refined tone of the exhibition itself.

    A true first edition, not a reproduction, this piece is a collectible artifact of mid-20th-century French cultural history—highly sought after by admirers of Cocteau, Surrealism, and postwar graphic art. Exhibition posters printed by Mourlot, particularly for memorial retrospectives of major artists, continue to grow in value and relevance.

    Nice Cote D’Azur by Henri Matisse 1965 Danseuse Creole

    This vintage poster titled La Danseuse Créole appeared in 1965 to promote the Musée Matisse in Nice. It features an image based on a 1950 cut-out by Henri Matisse. The original artwork, made from gouache-painted paper, was inspired by American dancer Katherine Dunham. Matisse saw her perform in his studio and later created the piece. In 1953, he donated the work to the city of Nice. When the museum opened in 1963, it became part of the permanent collection. Atelier Mourlot in Paris printed the poster as a color lithograph. The Syndicat d’Initiative de Nice issued it with support from the French tourism office. This edition includes Matisse’s printed signature and was produced in limited quantity. The image reflects his late paper cut-out style, with flat shapes and strong color contrast.
