Claude Weisbuch
'Weisbuch gravures' original signed exhibition poster Musée d'Art Moderne Paris

1975

About the Item

This poster, published in Paris, was produced for a 1978 exhibition of the prints of contemporary artist Claude Weisbuch. This example is rare and unusual in that it is signed by the artist and inscribed to David Barnett, one of his most significant US dealers. It features one of the artist's haunting prints that is at once a self-portrait and also one of his iconic homages to the self portraits of Rembrandt van Rijn. Such images being featured on the publicity material for the exhibition demonstrates Weisbuch's devotion to the old masters while also comparing his own genius to theirs. The text of the poster reads: WEISBUCH gravures dix•neuf mars • treize avril musée d'art moderne de la ville de paris 26.5 x 19.5 inches, poster 34 x 37.25 inches, frame Signed and inscribed to David Barnett, lower left Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag mounting materials and housed in a silver finish wood moulding. Claude Weisbuch was born in Thionville, France in 1927 and was a pupil at L' École des Beaux-Arts de Nancy, France. As a painter, engraver, and exceptional lithographer, Claude Weisbuch has painted active motifs, such as musicians, horses, characters. Dominating in his work, by the relief and the velvety line which characterizes drypoint, his etchings are the strongest representations of his figures, intensely lively after 1960s. Using dark tones which express his sharp sense, Claude Weisbuch ceaselessly captures life's dynamics, as the pictorial, musical and literary expressions that are essentially human. Whether it is the impassioned violinist, the mercurial actor, or the sitter shrouded with silent intensity, they have all been rendered with Weisbuch's love for drama. The brushstrokes are sweeping and bold while the paint is fluid. His pictures, full of movement, give one the impression of time-lapsed motion, and display an expression of passionate humanity tinged with a unique energy.
