About the Item

Original 1972 exhibition poster: PICASSO, Galerie Louise Leiris Exhibition. Printer Moulot 1972. Henri Deschamps engraver. Translated, it is called: "The Painter & His Model" Fine condition. This was the last exhibition of Picasso's works before his death in 1973. The drawing of a young woman with an aging artist is typical of Picasso's concern with death towards the end of his life. This lithographic poster was designed to advertise an exhibition of 172 recent drawings by Pablo Picasso at the Galerie Louise Leiris in 1972. Lithography was authorized by Picasso and executed by French artist Henri Deschamps. Signed in the plate by Deschamps lower right. Printed by Mourlot in Paris, under Picasso's supervision, 1972. Catalogue Raisonne: Czwiklitzer 446; Rodrigo 241. Limited edition: 5,250. Sheet size: 28" x 19". Galerie Louise Leiris was a fine art gallery in Paris established by Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler in 1920. It was named after Kahnweiler's partner, André Simon. In 1940, the business was turned over to Louise Leiris, who was Kahnweiler's daughter. It was run under her name. Prominent among the artists who sold paintings through this gallery were Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. About the printer: Fernand Mourlot was born in Paris in 1895. He grew up in the family print shop but it wasn’t until he took over in the early 1920s that he would change the fabric of printing forever. His influence fostered a resurgence of lithography, revealing it as a new avenue for expression and a new realm of possibilities for the likes of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, and Alberto Giacometti to enrich their own work as well as fine art in general. Fernand passed on the family business to his son Jacques and ultimately to his grandson Eric Mourlot. Mourlot Editions is now based in New York City. This is an original 1972 exhibition poster for Picasso.
