This is an original poster by the well known French painter Vertes to announce an exhibition of his ceramic work at Atelier Tapis Vert in Vallauris, France, the famous pottery center near Cannes where Picasso created his ceramics after World War II. Vertes was closely aligned with Claire and Rene Batigne who were the owners of Tapis Vert. Also associated with the studio were Bemelmans, Ozenfant, and Prinner, leading French artists of their day as was Vertes.The linocut image was cut by Vertes and letterpress printed in Cannes for the May/June 1957 exhibit. It was printed in the same shop that printed at least one earlier Picasso ceramic exhibit poster in 1948. The colors are black and green on off-white paper which measures 11" x 17. A variation was also printed in black without the green copy, perhaps trial prints for the finished version. This particular example is in very good condition, apparently never displayed and well kept. Provenance is available.
