Henri Matisse (1869-1954) - Blue Nude II **Original Grand Palais Exhibition Poster París

Official exhibition poster produced for the major retrospective “Matisse 1941–1954” held at the Grand Palais in Paris in 2026, dedicated to the final and most revolutionary years of Henri Matisse’s career. The poster features the iconic Nu bleu II (Blue Nude II) from 1952, one of the artist’s most celebrated cut-out compositions and a defining masterpiece of 20th-century modern art.

Created using Matisse’s groundbreaking papier découpé technique—painted paper cut and assembled into flowing abstract forms—Blue Nude II embodies the radical simplification, freedom of line, and pure use of color that transformed his late work into a universal visual language. Produced while the artist was in declining health, the “Blue Nudes” series is widely considered among the most influential works of postwar modernism.

Printed by GrandPalaisRmn for the official exhibition from March to July 2026, this museum poster was distributed in limited quantities and is highly decorative, combining deep ultramarine tones with Matisse’s instantly recognizable organic forms. An essential piece for collectors of modern art, Fauvism, museum exhibition posters, and Matisse memorabilia.
