Musée National d'Art Moderne 1957

This stunning original 1957 poster was created for the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris to celebrate the pioneering work of Robert Delaunay, one of the founding figures of Orphism, a movement rooted in abstraction and the interplay of color and light.

The poster showcases Delaunay’s unmistakable style, bursting with vivid concentric circles, dynamic brushwork, and rhythmic color harmonies. The composition exemplifies his belief in the emotive power of pure color and geometric form—a radical break from figurative tradition that helped shape 20th-century modernism.

Printed by Mourlot, the renowned Parisian lithography atelier responsible for many iconic modern art posters, this piece not only commemorates the exhibition (held from May 25 to October 1957) but also functions as a bold visual extension of Delaunay’s artistic vision.

An exceptional artifact of postwar French graphic design, this poster is highly collectible for enthusiasts of modernist art, abstract painting, and museum ephemera. It captures the vibrant essence of Delaunay’s synesthetic world, where art, color, and movement converge in symphonic abstraction.
