Hélène de Beauvoir - original lithographic poster

Rare original lithographic poster with artwork by Hélène de Beauvoir for exhibition at Galerie Synthèse in Paris 1963. The exhibition was titled ‘Variations on Venice’.

Hélène de Beauvoir was a French painter whose independent artistic career was formed alongside of her sister, the philosopher Simone de Beauvoir.

Working throughout the twentieth century, Hélène de Beauvoir created a body of work that combines expressive figuration with symbolic and often socially engaged themes. Her paintings frequently explore the condition of women, human vulnerability, and the tensions of modern life. Stylistically, she moved between post-impressionist color sensibility and a more graphic, structured approach, developing a visual language marked by strong outlines, vibrant tonal contrasts, and emotional intensity.

The piece is framed with a hand painted pink frame with leaf detailing and is placed on a light off-white background.
