Description
Gustave Singier (1909-1984) was a Belgian non-figurative painter. This original poster advertises the Contemporary Art festival based in Saint Nectaire les Bains in 1966, a town in Auvergne, France famed for its 12th century church and its neighbouring thermal springs.
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.
