Classic Poster Paper - Excellent Condition A

This glorious original lithographic poster by famous British artist Graham Sutherland, was created for the International Art Biennale of Menton in the South of France in 1972. The Art Biennale in Menton unfortunately ended in 1978. But this colorful image (including and incredibly deep and bright red) by Sutherland entitled "The Rock" is a wonderful reminder of a bygone era. Edition of 1,000 aside from the signed and numbered edition of 225 on Arches paper (variant with three other motifs instead of the text). 

By the 1960s printmaking, and especially lithography, returned to Sutherland’s focus in full force. During these last few decades of his life he produced almost three times as many prints as he had in the first half of his career, experimenting with ever more vivid uses of colour and form.
