Description

The circa 1950 exhibition poster by Henri Matisse for Dessins et Sculptures at the Galerie Berggruen in Paris marks an important moment in modern art history. Printed by Mourlot Studios, the poster represents a collaboration between one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and a prominent gallery, known for showcasing the works of modern masters.

By the 1950s, Henri Matisse had already become a key figure in the evolution of modern art. His work spanned various mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and printmaking. This exhibition at Galerie Berggruen focused on his drawings and sculptures, showcasing his ability to express complex ideas with simplicity and grace. Matisse's work during this period demonstrated his continued innovation, even in the later stages of his career, as he explored the essence of form and line.

Galerie Berggruen, founded by Heinz Berggruen, was a significant hub for modern art in Paris. The gallery became well-known for its exhibitions of major 20th-century artists, including Picasso, Giacometti, and Matisse. The Dessins et Sculptures exhibition provided a platform for Matisse's drawings and sculptures, allowing the public to engage with his work in new ways and highlighting his ongoing contributions to modern art.

The poster for this exhibition was printed by Mourlot Studios, a renowned lithographic printing house that worked closely with many leading artists of the time. Mourlot was instrumental in producing high-quality lithographs for artists like Matisse, Picasso, and Chagall, transforming exhibition posters into collectible art objects themselves.

This poster for Dessins et Sculptures at Galerie Berggruen is a reflection of the vibrant art scene in post-war Paris and Matisse's lasting influence on the world of modern art. The exhibition celebrated Matisse's mastery of both drawing and sculpture, and the collaboration with Mourlot Studios helped ensure that the poster would be remembered as a valuable piece of art history.

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 24th March 2025

We want everybody鈥檚 Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.

However, sometimes things don鈥檛 go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.

To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren鈥檛 sure about a piece鈥檚 condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.

Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.

Can I cancel an order?

There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.

If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.

Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.

Can I return an order?

We understand that sometimes a piece isn鈥檛 the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.

The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).

You can return your order if...

It isn't what you expected

If what arrives isn鈥檛 what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you鈥檒l receive a refund.

You change your mind

If you don鈥檛 feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you鈥檒l be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.

It's damaged in transit

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.

If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller鈥檚 behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.

What can't I return?

Just as there are some orders you can鈥檛 cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.

Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item鈥檚 condition.

Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

I'm eligible for a return. Now what?

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.

How will I receive my refund?

Once the seller confirms they鈥檝e received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.

All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don鈥檛 recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
