Additional Details: This vintage exhibition poster was produced for a 1971 show at the Brooklyn Museum and features Cypresses (Les Cyprès), a powerful drawing created in June 1889 by the Dutch master Vincent van Gogh during his stay in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Executed in brown ink and graphite on wove Latune et Cie Balcons paper, the original drawing reveals Van Gogh’s extraordinary command of line and movement. Unlike his more widely known paintings, this work emphasizes structure and rhythm through expressive, almost calligraphic strokes that animate the towering cypress trees—symbols the artist associated with both eternity and emotional intensity. Created during one of the most psychologically charged periods of his life, the composition reflects Van Gogh’s deep connection to the landscape of southern France. The swirling, upward energy of the cypresses anticipates the dynamic forms seen in his paintings from the same period, including The Starry Night, translating nature into a profoundly personal and spiritual vision. The poster beautifully captures the immediacy and vitality of the original drawing while presenting it within a clean, institutional design characteristic of early 1970s museum graphics. It stands as both a historical document and a compelling visual work, bridging scholarly context with timeless aesthetic appeal. A highly desirable piece for collectors of Van Gogh, works on paper, and classic museum exhibition posters from the pre-digital era. Framing available upon request.
