About the Item

Extremely rare Henri Matisse Galerie Maeght “Ce Dessin Me Plaît” Exhibition Poster, Paris, 1945 This rare Galerie Maeght exhibition poster reproduces Henri Matisse’s emblematic line-drawing of a seated figure holding a sheet inscribed “ce dessin me plaît,” framed by the artist’s bold hand-lettered “HENRI MATISSE” at the top and the printed exhibition line “PEINTURES ET DESSINS RÉCENTS” below. The printed address “GALERIE MAEGHT, 13, Rue de Téhéran (8e)” anchors the design to the gallery’s postwar Paris premises and aligns with published accounts of Maeght’s opening period and its inaugural Matisse presentation in late 1945. In multiple narratives of the Matisse–Maeght relationship, the “Ce dessin me plaît” image is described as serving as the visual identity across formats for the inaugural Galerie Maeght Matisse exhibition dated 7–29 December 1945 (appearing as cover, poster, and invitation), which supports the 1945 dating for period ephemera bearing the Rue de Téhéran address. The edition figure of only 100 examples is reported in specialist trade literature for this specific “Ce dessin me plaît” Galerie Maeght poster, and should be stated as such unless independently confirmed by an archive record or institutional catalogue entry. This is particularly important because the market contains later, easily confused variants: reputable listings and auction-catalogue descriptions document a 1959 “after the original poster” reproduction pathway connected to Art in Posters (Sauret) and Mourlot printing, often appearing as a smaller-format plate or “print from a book,” which is not equivalent to a 1945 Maeght-issued poster. Measurements: 17.5" h x 21.5" w (framed).
