Le Cubisme Galerie Beyeler à Bale 1962

This striking original 1962 poster was created for the historic exhibition “Le Cubisme” held at the renowned Galerie Beyeler in Basel, Switzerland. The show featured major works by the pioneering cubist artists: Braque, Gris, Léger, and Picasso—and the poster itself is anchored by a richly layered still-life by Georges Braque, one of the true originators of the Cubist movement.

The composition reproduces one of Braque’s signature collages, where overlapping planes of wood grain, newspaper fragments, musical instruments, and textured surfaces create a dense, rhythmic visual language. This meticulously crafted arrangement exemplifies the core Cubist pursuit: breaking down form and perspective to reveal a new visual truth.

Set against a cream backdrop, the artwork is framed by a clean, modernist layout with the exhibition title “LE CUBISME” boldly rendered in deep ultramarine blue—echoing the refined tones of the image itself. Above, the names of the four Cubist masters signal the gravity of the exhibition, while the details below root it in time and place: Galerie Beyeler, Bâle, Mai–Juin 1962.

A rare and visually rich piece of art history ephemera, this poster not only commemorates a landmark exhibition but also celebrates the revolutionary spirit of early 20th-century modernism. A must-have for admirers of Cubism and Braque’s quietly radical genius.
