This exhibition poster was created in 1972 to promote a presentation of silk screen works by Jean Michel Folon at Galerie Marquet, located at 7 rue Bonaparte in Paris. The exhibition ran from October 18 through November 18, 1972, during a period when Folon’s visual language was gaining international recognition for its poetic restraint and symbolic clarity. Issued by Éditions Marquet, the poster reflects the gallery’s role in presenting contemporary graphic artists to a Parisian audience engaged with modern illustration and fine art printmaking.
The imagery is emblematic of Folon’s style. A solitary figure stands within a simplified landscape beneath an expansive blue sky, confronted by a surreal winged form that hovers between abstraction and narrative. Folon’s restrained palette, soft color transitions, and minimal line work create a contemplative mood, encouraging quiet interpretation rather than direct explanation. His compositions often emphasize scale and isolation, reinforcing recurring themes of introspection and the human experience.
Printed as a silk screen, this poster reflects Folon’s commitment to the medium as an expressive art form rather than a purely commercial process. Silk screen printing allowed him precise control over color and surface, resulting in the saturated fields and subtle tonal variation seen here. Today, this Galerie Marquet exhibition poster is considered a strong and collectible example of early 1970s European graphic art, representing both Folon’s mature visual language and a significant moment in postwar Parisian exhibition history.
