The original lithographic poster is from 1957 at the Galerie Berggruen in Paris.

Poliakoff was born in Moscow and raised by a religious mother, attending church almost daily as a child, and the strong colors and contemplative, mimetic power of religious icons would fascinate him for his entire life. He took drawing lessons from the age of 14, part of a cultured upbringing that abruptly ended with the 1917 Russian Revolution. Poliakoff settled in Paris in 1923 and began to study painting at the Académie. Poliakoff’s work can be characterized by his contrasted rich, jewel-like coors in his mature canvases before returning to more subdued tones in the 1960s.

The poster is framed with a red lacquered frame at a sand colored passpartout.
