First edition of this work on Picasso’s contributions to the field of poster art, with 24 chromolithographic reproductions of his finest pieces.

Published with Picasso’s approval and with many of the originals from which the 24 chromolithographic plates were produced supplied by Picasso, this is the definitive work on Picasso’s contributions to the art of the poster. The extensive introduction, written by Joseph K. Foster, discusses both the development of French poster art and focuses on Picasso’s personal relationship to the form through both biographical history and his place in the French artistic tradition.
