Marc Chagall Galerie Maeght, Paris Lithograph Exhibition Poster

Highly collectible midcentury Marc Chagall Galerie Maeght, Paris lithograph exhibition poster, circa 1952s. The piece is from the French Posters collection and is in very nice original frame . Posters as an art form were invented by Jules Chéret in Paris in the 1860s. Their proliferation and refinement were the result of advances in printing technology, a relaxation of laws regulating the press, and a booming demand for the advertisement of ‘modern’ products and of the Parisian lifestyle in the Belle Epoque (1871 – 1914). In journals, books, theater programs, and posters, the graphic arts soon transcended their commercial function and became art objects sought out by art collectors worldwide.
