About the Item

The 1969 original exhibition poster for the show titled "Grafica Inglese" held at Galleria Il Centro in Naples is an important example of the mid-20th century's celebration of contemporary British graphic art. Featuring a distinctive abstract artwork by Howard Hodgkin, this poster, "Girl at Night", is characteristic of Hodgkin’s signature style—emphasizing color, form, and emotional depth. The exhibition, which ran from February 15 to March 5, 1969, brought together the works of influential British artists of the time, highlighting the diversity and innovation in British graphic arts. The artists included in the show represent a who's who of modern British art, such as Jim Dine, Alan Davie, Richard Hamilton, David Hockney, and Patrick Caulfield. These names are synonymous with the British Pop Art movement, as well as other contemporary artistic trends like abstract expressionism and experimental graphics. The design of the poster itself, with its bold geometric shapes and minimalist typography, reflects the ethos of 1960s modernism, a period where design and fine art were becoming increasingly intertwined. Hodgkin’s work featured on this poster is an abstract human form, conveying both movement and emotion through a simple but powerful color palette. His use of overlapping warm tones and organic forms creates a sense of depth and intimacy, typical of his approach to capturing feelings and memories through abstract compositions. The exhibition aimed to introduce Italian audiences to the rich diversity of British graphic arts during a time of immense cultural change and creative innovation. These artists, including Hodgkin, played significant roles in reshaping the visual language of modern art. This poster serves not only as an advertisement for the exhibition but also as a collectible piece of art in itself, representing the convergence of graphic design and fine art in the late 1960s. Its historical significance lies in its documentation of a pivotal moment in art history, when British artists were gaining international recognition and influencing the global art scene.
