Printed in Italy, with photography by André Morain, this rare poster captures the spirit of Garouste’s presence in the international art scene during the early 1980s. Garouste is celebrated for his figurative yet highly symbolic style, often weaving together elements of myth, allegory, and literature in ways that challenge viewers to confront deeper cultural and philosophical narratives. His works combine a mastery of traditional techniques with a distinctive contemporary vision, frequently exploring themes of identity, madness, and memory. With expressive brushwork, theatrical composition, and vivid colors, Garouste’s paintings straddle the line between the classical and the surreal, making him one of France’s most original and thought-provoking artists of his generation. This poster not only commemorates a significant exhibition but also reflects Garouste’s unique contribution to contemporary art, blending historical references with deeply personal and imaginative storytelling. Framing available upon request.
