1945
"Ce dessin me plaît" invitation to the historically first exhibition organized by the Maeght Gallery, at the address: 13 rue de Téhéran, Paris, in 1945. The vernissage took place on Friday, December 7, 1945, and the exhibition lasted until the 29th of the same month. This drawing was repeatedly used as a template for the poster or invitation to the author`s exhibitions at Maeght, but in this case, it is a very rare premiere edition of 500 copies. A similar known copy is in the collections of the Musée Matisse Nice. Folds, worn edges.
