Description
This poster, limited to an edition of 1800, was created in 1960 for the exhibition ‘Picasso – 45 Linoléums Gravés’ at the Galerie Louise Leiris in Paris. The central image is a linocut by Picasso from 1958 titled ‘Bacchanale au Taureau noir’. The poster was printed 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.
