About the Item

This elegant and iconic 1972 original poster was created to promote the Grands Maîtres Estampes et Dessins exhibition held at La Pochade, a renowned Parisian gallery located at 157 Boulevard Saint-Germain. The show, which ran from 7 June to 31 July 1972, brought together the prints and drawings of some of the 20th century’s most groundbreaking modernists. At the heart of the poster is a striking black-and-white reproduction of Pablo Picasso’s “La Dame à la Collerette”, a portrait characterized by bold lines, expressive distortion, and theatrical flair. The title, meaning “The Lady with the Ruffled Collar,” alludes to the aristocratic portraiture of past centuries, reinterpreted through Picasso’s unmistakable Cubist and expressionist lens. The composition is framed by a whimsical faux frame drawn in earthy brown tones, echoing the style of a primitive, playful woodcut. Around it, the names of fellow modern art giants line the right margin—Bellmer, Braque, Chagall, Dali, Dubuffet, Miro, Masson, Rouault, and others—highlighting the remarkable range of artists featured in the exhibition. The list reads like a roll call of avant-garde innovation spanning from 1905 to 1971. Picasso, who passed away just months after this exhibition opened, remains the gravitational force of this poster. His signature is printed beneath the artwork, anchoring the design with his enduring legacy. Today, this poster stands as a vibrant relic of postwar Parisian culture—a moment when the Left Bank was still buzzing with galleries, ateliers, and bohemian energy. It is a collector’s gem not only for fans of Picasso but also for admirers of 20th-century printmaking, European modernism, and the history of Paris’s art scene.

Picasso 1957 original exhibition poster Pâtes Blanches: Empreintes Originales
By Pablo Picasso
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1957 original exhibition poster titled Pâtes Blanches: Empreintes Originales éditées par Madoura et Gravures Rares by Pablo Picasso is a significant piece that reflects the artist's deep involvement with ceramic art and printmaking during that period. The poster was created to promote an exhibition at Galerie 65 in Cannes, France, showcasing Picasso’s ceramics and rare engravings, with a particular focus on his work with pâtes blanches, or white clay. By the late 1940s, Picasso had become increasingly involved with ceramics, producing a vast number of pieces at the Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, France. The studio, owned by Georges and Suzanne Ramié, became a creative haven for Picasso, where he could explore new forms of expression beyond painting and sculpture. His work with ceramics brought forth a unique blend of classical forms and modernist abstraction, often infusing traditional pottery with his distinctive artistic style. The term pâtes blanches refers to the white earthenware clay that Picasso used for creating his ceramic pieces. This material allowed him to experiment with various textures and finishes, which he combined with his characteristic line work and engraving techniques. The poster advertises this innovative work, highlighting the original prints and rare engravings that were part of the exhibition. The exhibition at Galerie 65 in Cannes ran throughout the summer of 1957 and offered art lovers and collectors the opportunity to view and acquire some of Picasso's rarest ceramic works and prints. It was a testament to Picasso's versatility as an artist, showcasing his ability to transcend different mediums while maintaining the boldness and originality that defined his career. The poster itself, with Picasso's handwritten details and a depiction of one of his engravings, serves as both a promotional tool and a work of art in its own right. It reflects Picasso's personal touch and his deep connection to the work he produced during this period. Today, this exhibition poster remains a coveted item for collectors of Picasso’s works and 20th-century art, representing a unique moment in Picasso's extensive and varied artistic journey.
