About the Item
The 1990 original exhibition poster for Georges Braque’s “À tire d’aile” at the National Museum of Modern Art serves as a stunning testament to the enduring appeal of one of modern art’s most influential figures. Celebrating Braque’s profound impact on the art world, this poster reflects the museum’s dedication to highlighting the innovative vision of the French painter and co-founder of Cubism.
Georges Braque, a pioneer of modernism, revolutionized the visual arts with his groundbreaking experiments in form, perspective, and texture. Often celebrated for his collaboration with Pablo Picasso in developing the Cubist movement, Braque’s work transcended genres, blending abstraction and lyricism in ways that profoundly influenced 20th-century art. His series of bird-themed works, particularly “À tire d’aile” (which translates to “On the Wing”), exemplifies the ethereal and poetic side of his later career, where he explored themes of nature, flight, and the infinite.
The subject of this poster, “À tire d’aile,” captures Braque’s fascination with the symbolism of birds in flight. The simplicity and elegance of his composition reflect his masterful use of minimalistic shapes and muted tones to evoke a sense of freedom and transcendence. The image conveys a quiet beauty, where the bird becomes a metaphor for movement, aspiration, and the passage of time. This work embodies Braque’s philosophical approach to art, rooted in contemplation and balance.
The poster itself is a work of art in its own right, showcasing the central motif of Braque’s avian imagery. Designed to complement the artist’s vision, the typography and layout emphasize clarity and elegance, much like the artwork it promotes. Exhibition posters from the National Museum of Modern Art during this period often blended functionality with artistic merit, becoming collectible items sought after by enthusiasts of both graphic design and fine art.
The 1990 exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art provided a comprehensive retrospective of Braque’s career, offering visitors an intimate glimpse into his evolution as an artist. From his early Cubist explorations to his poetic later works, the exhibition highlighted the depth and diversity of his oeuvre. “À tire d’aile” served as a focal point, representing the artist’s mature style and his meditative engagement with themes of nature and spirituality.
Today, this poster holds significant value not only as a commemorative piece from a major exhibition but also as a visual artifact that encapsulates Braque’s unique artistic legacy. Its association with the National Museum of Modern Art, a cornerstone of Parisian culture and a beacon of modernist art, further enhances its desirability among collectors and art historians.
For those who admire Georges Braque, this poster is more than a simple announcement of an exhibition—it is a celebration of his timeless vision, bridging the worlds of art and design. As a collectible, it remains a cherished reminder of Braque’s enduring ability to inspire and move audiences, even decades after his passing.

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.
