Henri Matisse, Ville de Nice – Galerie des Ponchettes is a vintage lithography poster produced in 1950. Created for the exhibition “Henri Matisse: Paintings, Drawings, Sculptures, Tapestries” at the Musée de Nice, Galerie des Ponchettes, which ran from January to March 1950

• Catalogue raisonné reference of the posters: No. 57 in Christophe Czwiklitzer’s reference work (Matisse: The Posters / The Posters).

The poster reproduces linocuts originally created by Matisse in the 1930s to illustrate the book Pasiphaé – Chant de Minos by Henri de Montherlant. The two main linocuts at the top of the poster correspond, in the engraved-works catalogue of Matisse (compiled by Marguerite and Claude Duthuit), to the general references of the Pasiphaë suite (published in 1944).
