Description
The 1960 original exhibition poster by Mary Cassatt, titled "Peintres et graveurs au Centre culturel américain," is a striking piece of art that highlights the profound influence and contribution of American artists in the realms of painting and printmaking. This poster was designed to promote an exhibition held at the American Cultural Center, showcasing works by renowned painters and engravers, including Cassatt herself.
Mary Cassatt, an esteemed American painter and printmaker, is best known for her unique and intimate depictions of women and children. As a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement, Cassatt’s work is characterized by its delicate brushwork, innovative use of color, and keen observation of everyday life. This poster serves as a testament to her artistic legacy and her role in bridging American and European art cultures.
The central image of the poster captures the essence of Cassatt's style, featuring a tender and detailed portrayal of a mother and child. The composition is both intimate and inviting, drawing viewers into a moment of quiet affection and connection. Cassatt's skillful rendering of the figures, with their soft contours and expressive features, highlights her ability to convey deep emotional content through her art.
The background of the poster is kept minimal, ensuring that the focus remains on the central figures. This simplicity enhances the emotional impact of the image, allowing the viewer to fully appreciate the nuances of Cassatt's technique and the subtleties of her color palette. The use of light pastels and gentle shading creates a serene and harmonious atmosphere, reflecting the nurturing theme common in Cassatt’s work.
Cassatt’s signature attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the clothing worn by the mother and child. The fine lines and delicate brushstrokes demonstrate her mastery of both painting and printmaking, making the poster not only a promotional piece but also a work of art in its own right.
The typography in the poster is elegantly understated, with the title "Peintres et graveurs au Centre culturel américain" prominently displayed in a classic serif font. This choice of font complements the refined aesthetic of Cassatt's artwork, lending an air of sophistication and cultural significance to the exhibition. The text is carefully positioned to balance the composition, ensuring that it enhances rather than detracts from the visual impact of the central image.
This poster also serves as an important historical artifact, reflecting the cultural exchange between America and Europe in the mid-20th century. The exhibition at the American Cultural Center was part of a broader effort to promote American art abroad and to foster international artistic collaboration. By featuring artists like Cassatt, the exhibition highlighted the significant contributions of American artists to the global art scene and underscored the shared artistic heritage between the two continents.

However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.

You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.

What can't I return?
