Original René Char by Georges Braque Poster "Lettera Amorosa", 1963 - Mourlot

This is an original lithographic poster created in 1963 by Georges Braque for Lettera Amorosa — a collection of poems by René Char, one of the most celebrated French poets of the 20th century and a close friend and collaborator of Braque for over two decades.

Lettera Amorosa is among Char's most intimate works — a sustained lyrical meditation on love, landscape, and the passage of time, drawing on classical Mediterranean imagery to create a world where feeling and form are inseparable. That Braque was chosen to give visual life to this text is no coincidence: both men shared a profound belief in the power of art to articulate what language alone cannot hold.

Printed by the Ateliers Mourlot, this poster stands at a rare intersection — not an exhibition announcement, but a work born from the dialogue between two of France's greatest creative minds in the final years of Braque's life. He passed away later that same year, in August 1963, making this one of his last collaborations.

An extraordinary piece for the collector at the crossroads of modern painting, French poetry, and the art of the livre d'artiste.
