This remarkable exhibition poster featuring a striking figure who appears to be a bullfighter holds a key place in Picasso's history. It commemorates an exhibition of Picasso's work from between 1969-1970 at the 24th Avignon Festival. 

Picasso exhibited at the flagship venue the Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes). Documentary footage from France's National Audiovisual Institute gives a feel of this exhibition. Picasso is described as 'the prince of painting in our time' and visitors comment that they feel as if they have snuck into the great painter's studio entered his world.

It was a world that was a little racy for some tastes: the narrator of the program tells us that even with an 'adults only warning' some of the paintings from the exhibition cannot in good taste be shown on film. 

This poster comes with a Certificate of Provenance signed and stamped by Eric Mourlot.
