Description
This poster promotes an exhibition of works by Marc Chagall at the Grand Palais in Paris. The work featured is “The Magician Of Paris” which depicts a magician floating above the Paris skyline. The work was produced in 1969 at the same time as the exhibition.
The poster was produced by Atelier Mourlot, a fine art lithographic printers who, in the early 20th century, invited some of the most celebrated artists of the time to the studio to collaborate on traditional stone lithography. Artists such as Braque, Calder, Chagall, Dufy, Léger, Matisse, Miró and Picasso worked with Mourlot to produce visually striking lithographs that were used as posters to promote the artists’ work or exhibitions and pasted up all over cities. Today, these beautifully lithographed posters make the perfect interior decoration and are collectable works of art in their own right.
