About the Item
This 1958 original exhibition poster, printed by the renowned Mourlot Studios, was created for the exhibition "Sculptures en Pierre" by Henri Laurens at the prestigious Galerie Louise Leiris in Paris. The exhibition celebrated Laurens’ mastery of stone sculpture, highlighting his contribution to modernist abstraction and Cubist-inspired forms.
Henri Laurens, a key figure in 20th-century sculpture, was closely associated with the Cubist movement, working alongside artists such as Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, and Juan Gris. His sculptural works, characterized by their fluid yet geometric forms, organic contours, and harmonious volumes, reflected a deep engagement with both modern abstraction and classical influences. By the time of this exhibition, Laurens had established himself as one of the most innovative sculptors of his era, redefining the relationship between mass, space, and movement in stone.
The Galerie Louise Leiris, formerly Galerie Kahnweiler, played a significant role in promoting modern art, particularly the work of the Cubists and their successors. This exhibition was a tribute to Laurens’ legacy, showcasing his ability to transform raw stone into expressive, timeless forms.
Printed by Mourlot Studios, the leading lithographic atelier known for its collaborations with major modern artists, this poster is an important piece of mid-century art history. Highly sought after by collectors of modernist sculpture, Cubist-inspired works, and rare exhibition posters, it remains a testament to Laurens’ enduring impact on 20th-century sculpture.

Henri Laurens
Henri Laurens was born in Paris in 1885. Impaired by tuberculosis when he was only 17, he was leg-amputated seven years later. First a stone cutter, he then became a sculptor. In 1899, he studied drawing. Laurens was strongly influenced by cubism, he discovered as soon as 1908 at La Ruche. Attracted by the Montparnasse artists group, in 1911, he started sculpting in a cubist way. Friends of Juan Gris and Picasso, Laurens was also extremely close to Braque (who considered Laurens as a brother). Laurens who dedicated most of his work to the human face destroyed a lot of art pieces only to leave the ones accomplished. Laurens being recognized worldwide, his last 10 years production (La Grande baigneuse, 1947, L'Automne, 1948) was bought by the most famous museums. “His way of breathing, touching, feeling, thinking becomes an object, becomes sculpture.“ wrote Giacometti. Laurens died in 1954 in Paris.
