Poster and Exhibition Details
Artist: Pablo Picasso (after his original painting).
Original Artwork: The design is based on Picasso's 1924 oil-on-canvas painting Mandolin and Guitar, a significant example of his synthetic Cubist style.
Exhibition: The poster was created for an exhibition featuring selections from the Solomon R. Guggenheim collection, held in Paris before the completion of the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright-designed museum in New York.
Location & Dates: The exhibition took place at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, located in the Pavillon de Marsan of the Palais du Louvre, from April to June 1958.
Printer: The poster was printed in an edition of approximately one thousand by the renowned lithographer Mourlot, Paris.
The vibrant lithograph uses the bold colors and interlocking shapes of the original painting to create a still life of musical instruments on a table, with clouds visible through a window in the background. |
