Picasso Exhibition Poster, Galerie Beyeler 1986

This poster features Picasso’s painting, Woman in the Turkish Dress, 1955. In this poster, the joyous colouring that Picasso used on Jacqueline’s costume and hat stands out on a background of red that seems to create an oriental atmosphere. In this drawing of geometric forms, which will be the basis of later nudes, Picasso was able to create a balance between the Baroque style of the costume and the sober elegance of the collar alongside Jacqueline’s classical features.
