This original 1962 poster was created by the legendary Marc Chagall to promote his ceramic exhibition at the famed Galerie Madoura, located at 81 Rue d’Antibes in Cannes. With its playful, dreamlike design and striking use of color, the poster is a quintessential example of Chagall’s graphic sensibility and his ability to blend modernist abstraction with folkloric warmth. Printed in an edition of only 500 copies (catalogued as Sorlier 91), this lithographic poster was produced by Mourlot, the master Parisian printer who collaborated with some of the most renowned artists of the 20th century. The composition highlights a red sun-like circle containing a reclining female figure and a whimsical animal form—motifs often seen in Chagall’s work—floating above a pair of outlined jugs representing the ceramic medium celebrated in the show. The Galerie Madoura was closely tied to many leading artists of the École de Paris, including Picasso and Chagall, and this exhibition was a testament to Chagall's dedication to ceramics—a medium he embraced fully in the South of France during the 1950s and '60s. With its joyful palette, surreal elegance, and rare limited edition printing, this poster is both a collector’s item and a vibrant window into Chagall’s multidisciplinary practice. It beautifully encapsulates the spirit of mid-century Côte d’Azur art culture, where the boundaries between fine art and decorative art were joyfully blurred.
