Vincent van Gogh
1960 poster for the Van Gogh exhibition at Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris

1960

About the Item

This striking exhibition poster was produced for the Van Gogh exhibition at the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris, held from February to March 1960. It features a reproduction of Portrait du Père Tanguy (1887), one of Vincent van Gogh’s most celebrated works, which captures the essence of his Post-Impressionist style. The painting portrays Julien Tanguy, a Parisian art dealer and supporter of avant-garde painters, sitting before a vivid background of Japanese prints, a reflection of Van Gogh’s deep admiration for Japanese art. The poster’s design is both bold and refined, with Van Gogh’s name prominently displayed in red capital letters, creating a dynamic contrast against the rich colors of the artwork. Below, the exhibition details are presented in a simple yet elegant typeface, emphasizing the significance of this retrospective at one of Paris’s most distinguished museums. Van Gogh painted Portrait du Père Tanguy during his time in Paris, a period marked by experimentation with brighter colors and influences from Impressionism and Japonisme. Unlike his earlier, darker Dutch works, this painting showcases his evolving technique, characterized by expressive brushwork and a luminous palette. The sitter’s calm demeanor, combined with the swirling energy of the background, creates a striking balance between tranquility and movement, a hallmark of Van Gogh’s artistic vision. The 1960 exhibition at the Musée Jacquemart-André was a significant event, offering visitors a rare opportunity to explore Van Gogh’s artistic evolution through a carefully curated selection of his works. The museum, known for its exquisite collection and intimate atmosphere, provided a fitting venue for showcasing the depth and emotional intensity of Van Gogh’s paintings. This original lithographic poster is a collector’s piece, not only as a historical artifact from a major exhibition but also as an artistic tribute to one of the most influential painters of all time. It captures the essence of Van Gogh’s artistic legacy, reflecting both his mastery of color and form and the enduring power of his work to inspire and captivate audiences.
