Matisse Picasso Exhibition Poster (MoMA QNS, 2003)

This is a large-format exhibition poster produced for the 'Matisse Picasso' collaborative exhibition held at MoMA QNS (Museum of Modern Art, Queens) from February 13 to May 19, 2003. The graphic featured is a reproduction of Pablo Picasso’s 1932 masterpiece 'Girl before a Mirror' (Jeune fille devant un miroir). The artwork showcases Picasso's classic Cubist style, featuring Marie-Thérèse Walter staring into a mirror that reflects a darkened, more somber version of herself. The color palette is vibrant, utilizing bold reds, yellows, and greens contrasted with thick black outlines and a patterned, wallpaper-like background. The typography at the bottom is set in a modern sans-serif blue font stating 'MATISSE PICASSO' above details of the exhibition location and dates. The poster appears to be professionally framed in a black gallery-style frame, likely composed of wood or composite material, behind a protective glass or acrylic glazing. While the print quality appears high with saturated colors typical of MoMA's exhibition merchandise, there are minor reflections on the glass and slight rippling visible in the lower-left corner of the paper, suggesting it is not dry-mounted. The overall condition looks good with no visible fading, tears, or significant foxing, though the lighting makes a definitive paper assessment difficult without inspection out of the frame.
