About the Item
This striking original 1962 poster was created for the historic exhibition “Le Cubisme” held at the renowned Galerie Beyeler in Basel, Switzerland. The show featured major works by the pioneering cubist artists: Braque, Gris, Léger, and Picasso—and the poster itself is anchored by a richly layered still-life by Georges Braque, one of the true originators of the Cubist movement.
The composition reproduces one of Braque’s signature collages, where overlapping planes of wood grain, newspaper fragments, musical instruments, and textured surfaces create a dense, rhythmic visual language. This meticulously crafted arrangement exemplifies the core Cubist pursuit: breaking down form and perspective to reveal a new visual truth.
Set against a cream backdrop, the artwork is framed by a clean, modernist layout with the exhibition title “LE CUBISME” boldly rendered in deep ultramarine blue—echoing the refined tones of the image itself. Above, the names of the four Cubist masters signal the gravity of the exhibition, while the details below root it in time and place: Galerie Beyeler, Bâle, Mai–Juin 1962.
A rare and visually rich piece of art history ephemera, this poster not only commemorates a landmark exhibition but also celebrates the revolutionary spirit of early 20th-century modernism. A must-have for admirers of Cubism and Braque’s quietly radical genius.

Georges Braque
Georges Braque was born in Argenteuil, France, in 1882. Braque lived much of his childhood and young adult life in Le Havre. He attended night classes at the art school from 1897–99 and then moved to Paris, where he obtained his license as a master decorator. From 1905–06, after studying at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and having been influenced by the works of Henri Matisse, he began to paint in the way of Fauvism by using bright colors and taking advantage of the freedom of the composition. Paysage à L'Estaque (1906) was one of the prominent works of art made at this time.
The year 1907 was a significant time in Braque's development, wherein he visited the retrospective on Paul Cézanne and he came into contact with Picasso, who was very engrossed in the realization of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon at the time. At this point, Braque began nurturing a considerable interest in primitive art. After the First World War, Braque worked autonomously and developed a more personal style, which was characterized by vivid colors and textured surfaces. Braque painted still life, interior views, and ocean scenes. The Ateliers (1948–55) and Birds (1955–63) series were painted during this period. In 1948, he obtained his first award for painting at the XXIV Biennial in Venice.

View All1961 original exhibition poster of Georges Braque at the Musée Galliéra
By Georges Braque
Located in PARIS, FR
This sublime poster was made by Georges Braque 🇫🇷 (1882-1963) for his 1961 exhibition at the Galliera Museum (Fashion Museum of the City of Paris).
The Salon des Peintres témoins de leur temps is a show that was held every year between 1951 and 1983, first at the Museum of Modern Art of the city of Paris and then in the Palais Galliera.
Initiated by the painter Isis Kischka, the salon des peintres témoins de leurs temps is one of the most visited salons of the time, bringing together a hundred artists per edition while organizing around various themes over the years.
Braque is a major figure of modern art in the world. Along with Pablo Picasso, he was one of the initiators of Cubism, a pictorial movement based on the decomposition and geometrisation of forms.
In 1917, he created a series of breathtaking paintings. His paintings are divided into a series of themes: the figure, the still life and the studio.
It was in 1953, when he was at the peak of his career, that he completed "The Birds", this magnificent work which is featured on the poster.
