This striking, authentic 1961 limited edition lithograph by French modernist Gabriel Paris features a highly stylized, expressionist owl ("La Chouette"). Hand-signed, dated '61, and numbered 65/175 in pencil along the bottom margin, the piece boasts an incredibly vibrant, moody palette of deep indigo, emerald green, ochre, and terracotta that epitomizes the bold European mid-century aesthetic.
The Premium Framing
This artwork has been elevated to a turn-key, investment-grade presentation. It is housed in a brand-new, sleek black gallery frame with crisp, wide matting that perfectly contrasts the intense colors of the lithograph.
To ensure absolute preservation, the piece is sealed behind premium Tru Vue Museum Glass. This top-tier archival glass provides 99% UV protection to keep the vibrant 1960s inks from fading, while offering astonishing, reflection-free clarity that makes the glass nearly invisible. It is professionally finished with a sealed dust cover and heavy-duty wire, completely ready to hang.
Styling Notes
With its bold, saturated color palette and geometric naturalism, this lithograph is a powerful anchor piece. It effortlessly bridges the gap between classic mid-century modern silhouettes, eclectic maximalist gallery walls, and texture-driven, moody Wabi-Sabi interiors.

True to its age, the paper shows a visible, uniform line of mat toning (mat burn) around the outer perimeter from a historic framing setup, which is highly typical for prints of this era and beautifully validates its mid-century vintage history. The paper features authentic, organic deckled edges along the bottom and sides. There are no tears, punctures, or foxing affecting the image itself. The custom presentation is entirely brand new and flawless. The sleek black wood gallery frame, archival crisp white matting, and top-tier Tru Vue Museum Glass are in pristine condition. The back is professionally finished with a sealed dust cover, protective bumpers, and a heavy-duty hanging wire. Ready to hang immediately upon arrival. less
