This is an original exhibition poster created in 1973 for the landmark retrospective of Georges Braque at the Musée de l'Orangerie des Tuileries in Paris — held from October 16, 1973 to January 14, 1974, and organized by the Ministère des Affaires Culturelles and the Éditions des Musées Nationaux.
This retrospective was the most comprehensive presentation of Braque's work ever mounted in Paris — bringing together 141 works spanning his entire career, from his early Fauvist years through Cubism and into his final, meditative compositions. It remains, to this day, the last major Braque retrospective held in the French capital.
The poster features Braque's signature bird motif — the silhouetted bird in flight that became his most enduring symbol in the final decades of his career, appearing in paintings, sculptures, and prints as a recurring expression of freedom, space, and the poetry of the natural world.
This example is the large format version — significantly rarer than the standard edition, produced in smaller quantities for museum display and institutional use. It has been freshly linen backed — the gold standard of vintage poster conservation, ensuring the piece is stable, flat, and ready for framing.
An exceptional and rare piece — one of the most significant Braque posters ever produced, in its rarest format.
