About the Item
This 1961 original exhibition poster, designed by Georges Braque, was created for the prestigious annual exhibition "Les Peintres Témoins de Leur Temps" at the Musée Galliera in Paris. This event, which began in 1951, showcased the works of contemporary painters who sought to reflect the spirit and evolution of their era through art. Braque, a pioneering figure in Cubism alongside Pablo Picasso, lent his artistic vision to this poster, making it a remarkable piece of collectible exhibition history.
As an artist deeply engaged with form, color, and symbolism, Braque’s contributions to 20th-century modern art are profound. This poster reflects his mature style, where he moved beyond the Cubist experiments of his early career into a more poetic and expressive use of space and composition. His involvement in this exhibition underlines his continued influence on modern artistic movements and his ability to capture the essence of a changing world through his art.
The Musée Galliera, primarily known today as a fashion museum, was historically a hub for avant-garde art exhibitions, and "Les Peintres Témoins de Leur Temps" played a crucial role in defining post-war artistic sensibilities. Each year, the show presented works by leading artists of the time, offering a compelling visual narrative of contemporary life, culture, and thought.
This vintage exhibition poster is highly sought after by collectors of Braque’s work, modernist art posters, and French exhibition memorabilia. As a piece of mid-century artistic history, it stands as a testament to the enduring dialogue between fine art and social commentary.

Georges Braque
Georges Braque was born in Argenteuil, France, in 1882. Braque lived much of his childhood and young adult life in Le Havre. He attended night classes at the art school from 1897–99 and then moved to Paris, where he obtained his license as a master decorator. From 1905–06, after studying at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and having been influenced by the works of Henri Matisse, he began to paint in the way of Fauvism by using bright colors and taking advantage of the freedom of the composition. Paysage à L'Estaque (1906) was one of the prominent works of art made at this time.
The year 1907 was a significant time in Braque's development, wherein he visited the retrospective on Paul Cézanne and he came into contact with Picasso, who was very engrossed in the realization of Les Demoiselles d'Avignon at the time. At this point, Braque began nurturing a considerable interest in primitive art. After the First World War, Braque worked autonomously and developed a more personal style, which was characterized by vivid colors and textured surfaces. Braque painted still life, interior views, and ocean scenes. The Ateliers (1948–55) and Birds (1955–63) series were painted during this period. In 1948, he obtained his first award for painting at the XXIV Biennial in Venice.

Published by the Generali Foundation, Austria on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition. About the exhibition:
Hans Haacke (born in 1936 in Cologne, GER, has lived in New York, USA, since 1965) focused on "a single problem area: how the country deals with its history and national identity. More than I care for, these questions stir up emotions both in Austria and Germany." Haacke had been originally concerned with physical and biological systems. Very early on, his artistic practice also included the analysis of and reflection on socio-political phenomena. Haacke's work deals with social and political themes. He considers the debates arising from his works - fierce at times - to be an integral part of them.

"Business-Men's Class, Y.M.C.A." George Bellows, Ashcan School Print
By George Wesley Bellows

George Bellows
Business-Men's Class, Y.M.C.A, 1916
Signed, numbered "No. 41" and titled lower margin
Lithograph on wove paper
11 1/2 x 17 1/8 inches
Edition of 64
Provenance:
Hirschl & Adler Galleries, New York
Private Collection, Ohio
Literature:
Mason, 20.
After his arrival from Columbus, Ohio in 1904, Bellows lived at the West Side YMCA. It was there that he met Eugene Speicher, another aspiring young artist who was to become his lifelong friend. Always interested in the anatomy of the human body, Bellows often satirized the various types who, while leading a sedentary life, feel compelled to devote a portion of their daily routine to physical self-improvement.
Throughout his brief but illustrious career, George Wesley Bellows created striking scenes that documented ordinary American life in all its beauty and banality. Considered an American Realist, the artist eschewed embellishment, finding inspiration in the gritty boroughs of New York City, the rocky coastline of Maine, and, later, in his friends and family. Bellows garnered early recognition for his arresting portrayals of illegal prizefighting, dramatic works executed in dark tonal palettes that underscore the brutality of the violent sport.
Bellows’ elderly Methodist parents hoped their son might pursue the ministry, a calling the extroverted athlete never received. The Columbus native competed on the baseball team at Ohio State University and also served as an illustrator for the college yearbook. In the fall of 1904—just months shy of his expected graduation—Bellows defied his father’s wishes and boarded a train to New York City in hopes of becoming a magazine illustrator like his idols Howard Chandler Christy and Charles Dana Gibson. Before leaving, he reportedly turned down an offer to play professional baseball with the Cincinnati Reds...
