This original Jean Bazaine exhibition poster is from an exhibition in 1987 featuring a very colourful abstract image in reds, oranges, purples and yellows of his work "Midi, Arbres, Rochers" or "midday, trees, rocks".
Dimensions: 29 in x 18 in (74 cm x 45 cm)
Jean Bazaine was a French painter, designer of stained glass windows and writer. Bazaine was to develop into a significant Modern School of Paris painter. At his first individual show (Galerie Van Leer, Paris 1932), Bazaine was favourably received by Pierre Bonnard who seemed to recognize a progressive tendency rooted in his own sense of colour (Post-Impressionism developing into Abstract Impressionism). Bazaine in the face of the prejudice over Degenerate Art, organized an avant-garde picture show (Galerie Braun Paris 1941) under the heading Vingt Jeunes Peintres de Tradition Française: Estève, Lapique, Pignon were but a few of the artists involved. 1942 was to be the year of his definitive turn towards the abstract - though he would never refer to himself as an abstract painter (Bernier 1955). In 1949/1950, Bazaine had his first major one man show at the Galerie Maeght, who remained his art dealer thenceforth.
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.
