Art by Medium: Cardboard

Created by La Motta in 1955, this original poster was commissioned for the 36th International Eucharistic Congress in Rio de Janeiro. Held from July 17 to 24, the congress was an important international Catholic gathering organized around the theme of Christ the Redeemer and his Eucharistic kingdom. The composition places Rio’s celebrated statue of Christ the Redeemer at the center of an expansive celestial vision. With his arms extended, Christ forms the upper section of a monumental cross rendered in the green and yellow colors associated with Brazil. Below, he stands upon a globe centered on South America, where a radiant star indicates the location of Rio de Janeiro. A deep blue background and surrounding constellation of stars give the poster a sense of spiritual grandeur. The restrained palette of blue, green, yellow and ivory combines religious symbolism with the visual identity of Brazil, while the bold typography at the bottom clearly announces the congress and its dates. Signed La Motta in the lower right, the design is characteristic of mid-century event posters, using simplified forms and carefully balanced geometry to communicate a powerful message from a distance. The poster was printed by Rebizzi in São Paulo. This original 1955 poster is an evocative document of Brazilian religious and cultural history. Its striking combination of Christ the Redeemer, cartographic imagery and modern graphic design makes it particularly appealing to collectors of Brazilian posters...

A charming and finely executed still life painted in oil on board, signed A. Bally in the upper right corner and bearing an inscription in the upper left. The composition presents a carefully arranged group of everyday objects rendered with warmth and sensitivity: a large copper basin, a green glazed earthenware jug, a glass tumbler, a ceramic vessel, a small knife, and several ripe peaches distributed across a white tablecloth. The artist skillfully balances form, color, and light to create a harmonious and timeless domestic scene. The copper bowl serves as the focal point of the composition, its rich reddish-brown surface reflecting subtle highlights and demonstrating the painter’s particular attention to texture and materiality. The surrounding objects are depicted with equal care, each contributing to a quiet dialogue of shapes and volumes. The luminous peaches introduce vibrant accents of red and orange that enliven the otherwise restrained palette of earthy browns, soft creams, olive greens, and warm neutrals. Executed with confident brushwork and a keen understanding of tonal relationships, the painting recalls the enduring tradition of European still-life painting. The work celebrates ordinary household objects through careful observation and thoughtful composition, transforming familiar forms into an elegant study of color, light, and balance. The neutral background and uncluttered arrangement lend the composition a modern simplicity while preserving the classical qualities associated with traditional nature morte painting. The result is an inviting and highly decorative work that would complement both traditional and contemporary interiors. Still Life Painting, Oil on Board, Signed A.

Dimensions with frame: 53,8 x 44,6 x 3,5 cm. Signed "Guinand" in the lower left corner. This charming mid-20th-century still life depicts a generous bouquet of flowers arranged in an elegant white vase. Painted with a free and expressive touch, the composition combines delicate whites, vivid reds and pinks with deep greens, all set against a warm, muted background. The artist approaches the subject with a distinctly Modernist sensibility, simplifying the forms and allowing color and brushwork to shape the composition. The flowers are loosely and spontaneously rendered, while the sculptural white vase, with its curving silhouette, provides a strong and luminous focal point. The restrained palette of the surrounding interior further enhances the freshness and vibrancy of the bouquet. Both intimate and decorative, the painting reflects the enduring influence of Post-Impressionism on mid-20th-century European still-life painting. Its expressive character and harmonious colors make it an appealing work for both classical and contemporary interiors. rené guinand...
