Pablo Picasso Festival de Lyon 1953 Still Life Exhibition Art Print

In the mid-century tradition of French exhibition design, this 1953 lithograph reproduction captures the bold experimentation of the modern era. The composition features a fragmented cubist arrangement where geometric shapes and heavy black outlines define a collection of objects against a vibrant sky-blue background.

About Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) co-founded Cubism and changed the direction of 20th-century art. Picasso moved through many styles, from the Blue and Rose periods to Cubism and Neoclassicism. Cubism, developed by Picasso and Braque around 1907–1914, shows subjects from several viewpoints at once. An exhibition poster records the time and place where a famous work was shown, adding a layer of history.

With its blue, red and orange palette and vibrant atmosphere, this Pablo Picasso exhibition poster brings instant personality to a wall.

Finish “Festival de Lyon” with a slim walnut or black frame: its blue, red and orange palette pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak.
