This original 1972 French exhibition poster was created for Brassaï: Sculptures, Drawings, Tapestries, presented at Galerie Verrière in Paris from 22 March to 18 April 1972. The exhibition explored the artist’s multidisciplinary work beyond the photography for which he remains best known.
The composition features three elongated white biomorphic forms arranged against a grainy black background. Resembling abstract sculptures or mysterious organic figures, their simplified silhouettes give the image a powerful and enigmatic presence.
A vivid yellow field surrounds the central artwork, while bold black typography presents the artist’s name and exhibition details with exceptional clarity. Printed by Mourlot, the poster also credits the Cauquil-Prince workshop for the production of Brassaï’s tapestries.
Born Gyula Halász, Brassaï was a Hungarian-born French photographer, sculptor, draughtsman and writer. Celebrated for his atmospheric photographs of Paris by night, he also developed an important body of work in sculpture, drawing and tapestry, revealing the remarkable range of his artistic practice.
A striking and uncommon example of French exhibition design, this original poster would make an excellent addition to a collection devoted to Brassaï, modern art, photography, sculpture or Parisian galleries.
