This beautiful and rare lithographic poster dates back to December of 1944. It was also created as a lithograph after a drawing by Pierre Bonnard that was published by Teriade in Paris. This lithograph was then used as an exhibition poster for Galerie Pierre Berès in Paris.

Bonnard was a founding member of the Post-Impressionist group of avant-garde painters Les Nabis, and his early work was strongly influenced by the work of Paul Gauguin, and the prints of Hokusai and other Japanese artists. He was a leading figure in the transition from impressionism to modernism. He painted landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and intimate domestic scenes, where the backgrounds, colors and painting style usually took precedence over the subject.
