Original lithographic poster with art by Jean Lurçat made for exhibition at Maison de la Pensée Franiçaise in 1956.

Jean Lurçat was a French artist who became known for his role in the revival of contemporary wallpaper. Lurçat began as a painter and tapestry weaver in 1915. He became intrigued by tapestry weaving when he learned of its history. Lurçat was especially influenced by Apocalypse of Angiers which he viewed in 1937. He came away from this experience more sure that emotional content and reduction of means, or "scale of pre-arranged color" were of ultimate importance to tapestry design.

The piece is framed with a hand silvered frame, dark gray passepartout, and is placed on a red background.
