Antonin Soungouroff was born in Russia but settled in France where he became well known for his portraits of attractive young men, particularly young fisherman around Cannes. Indeed Soungouroff dealt with themes and images relating to gay life and culture. He became friends with many prominent writers and artists including Jean Cocteau, Christian Berard, and Roger Peyrefitte.
What is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.
Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm.
These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
