Bold, refined, and steeped in the rich legacy of modern art, this original 1967 exhibition poster captures the unmistakable essence of Pablo Picasso's creative universe. Designed for the Galerie Lucie Weill in Paris, this lithographic gem announced a unique presentation of the artist’s Céramiques — works produced in collaboration with the famed Madoura pottery studio — alongside Gravures Originales, or original engravings.
The composition is striking in its simplicity: a ceramic dish featuring a whimsical bird rendered in Picasso’s instantly recognizable hand, set against a rustic tile background. The stylized animal form, vivid color palette, and free-flowing lines exemplify Picasso's joyful exploration of ceramics — a medium he embraced with boundless enthusiasm from the late 1940s onward. The bird, often a symbol of freedom and vitality, reflects the artist’s lifelong fascination with nature and form distilled to its purest visual language.
Below, clean typography in blue, red, and black provides the essential exhibition details, beautifully anchored by the names Picasso and Galerie Lucie Weill, evoking the understated elegance of Paris’s Left Bank art scene. Taking place from December 1967 to January 1968, this show highlighted Picasso’s lesser-known, yet deeply personal ceramic works — objects that blend fine art with craft, spontaneity with structure.
Beyond its functional purpose, the poster stands today as a collectible object in its own right — a testament to the continued resonance of Picasso’s visual language and the golden age of 20th-century European gallery exhibitions.
