About The Poster: This poster was created to honour Aime Maeght, a significant man in the history of French poster art. According to Wikipedia: "As a youth, Maeght studied art and music, training as a lithographer at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Nîmes. His first commercial encounter in the art world came in 1930, when Pierre Bonnard came to his Cannes shop and had Maeght print a program for a Maurice Chevalier concert with a Bonnard lithograph. After the programs were produced, Maeght put the lithograph in the print-shop window. A quick sale encouraged the artist to give him a second picture."

This poster is in excellent condition and ready to be framed.

About the Artist: Valerio Adami (1935-) is an Italian painter often associated with the Pop Art movement. He began studying painting at the age of 10 under the Italian artist Felice Carena and went on to attend the Brera Fine Arts Academy in Milan. His work touches on European history, politics, mythology and literature, featuring highly stylised subjects and large surfaces of colour bordered by dark lines. In 1975, philosopher Jacques Derrida used his work in his notable essay "+R: Into the Bargain" to discuss "narration, technical reproduction, ideology, the phoneme, the biographeme, and politics."
