Original lithograph poster printed by Mourlot, Paris.

This poster commemorates an exhibition at the Musée Réattu in Arles, a museum in southern France, historically devoted to modern and contemporary art and closely associated with the legacy of Van Gogh. The image’s pared-back composition and assertive line reflect Picasso’s late style, where immediacy and gesture replace refinement or illusion.

The Musée Réattu exhibition emphasised the coherence of Picasso’s late output, situating prints alongside other media to demonstrate the continuity of his inventive approach to form, line, and composition.
