Le Corbusier Musee de Lyon Exhibition Abstract Art Print, 1956 Poster

Born from the pioneering spirit of Purism and modernism, This print captures the essence of the 1956 Festival de Lyon-Charbonnières. The composition features a central, hand-drawn yellow form that suggests both a crown and a bird in flight, suspended over deep emerald green geometric blocks. Against a clear cerulean blue sky, the bold typography of the Musee de Lyon announcement grounds the abstract shapes, reflecting the architect’s mastery of spatial balance and graphic hierarchy.

This piece carries the optimistic energy of mid-century Europe, where architecture and fine art merged to redefine domestic living. Looking at the print evokes a sense of intellectual curiosity and the rhythmic structure of Le Corbusier’s larger architectural works. It isn’t just an advertisement for a museum show; it is a fragment of a design revolution that valued clarity, color, and form as essential components of the modern human experience.

It fits the same shelf as our mid century modern art, and sits comfortably next to abstract art prints.
