Gauguin and the Pont-Aven group Size-XL printmakerAn outstanding, original, exhibition poster, Gauguin and the Pont Aven Group, The Tate, 1966. The design, printed by the Curwen Press, features Paul Gauguins Self Portrait with the Yellow Christ (1890 or 1891) from the muse d'Orsay in Paris. Superb colour handling and text layout elevates this poster beyond most exhibition posters we have seen from this period. A higher resolution image is available for viewing on request.
