{"product_id":"ap_12525","title":"Cinquante chefs d'oeuvre 1959","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"308\" data-end=\"668\"\u003eBold, theatrical, and unmistakably Cubist, this original 1959 poster was created by Pablo Picasso for the exhibition \u003cem data-start=\"433\" data-end=\"459\"\u003eCinquante Chefs-d’Oeuvre\u003c\/em\u003e (“Fifty Masterpieces”) held at the Musée Cantini in Marseille. The show brought together some of Picasso’s most significant works, and this striking composition served as the official image for the event.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"1036\"\u003eRendered in deep purples, inky blacks, and cool geometric blues, the artwork reproduces one of Picasso’s intense still lifes—a bull skull set against an angular interior, its sharp forms silhouetted by the window’s divided panes. The skeletal structure is simultaneously abstract and symbolic: an homage to vanitas, mortality, and the raw material of art itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1362\"\u003eThe poster was printed by the famed Mourlot atelier, whose collaboration with Picasso on original lithographs and exhibition posters defined a golden era of French printmaking. The crisp typography, understated yet elegant, lets the visual drama take center stage, while grounding the piece in its institutional setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1638\"\u003eMore than a promotional object, this poster is a quintessential example of mid-century modernist design—combining artistic gravitas, curatorial prestige, and Picasso’s powerful visual language. A collectible artifact from one of 20th-century art’s most important voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition - Abstract - France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCantini Museum Marseille\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePrinted by Mourlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition, slight creases\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picasso Pablo","offers":[{"title":"77 x 52 \/ A","offer_id":52631951245639,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_12525Insta2.jpg?v=1762439847","url":"https:\/\/galerie1881.com\/en\/products\/ap_12525","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
