Le Déjeuner sur l’Herbe poster by Pablo Picasso

This fabulous archive/vintage poster was produced in 1972 for an exhibition held at Pace Gallery in Columbus, Ohio from February 3rd to March 5th, 1972.  We are informed that only 1000 of these posters were printed. 

As the Picasso Museum explains, "Pablo Picasso did around 40 works inspired by Le déjeuner sur l’herbe by Édouard Manet that date between 1959 and 1962.This series responds to a need of the artist who, from his period of  academic learning in Barcelona until his later years, fed off the painting from the past and remade it in revolutionary styles such as cubism.  Based on this need, at the end of the 50s and the beginning of the 60s, Picasso produced a cycle of series about the Masters who impacted most in him, such as Delacroix, Velázquez and Manet."
