A very rare 1932 lithographic poster after Édouard Manet’s Le Fifre (1866), a painting that marked a quiet shift toward modern art.
Inspired by Velázquez, Manet depicts a solitary young musician against a flat, ambiguous background, removing narrative, depth and hierarchy. The restraint, the omission as much as the presence, makes Le Fifre a pivotal work between tradition and modernity.
The original work travelled from the Louvre to the Musée du Jeu de Paume, and is now at the Musée d’Orsay.
Printed in 1932, this poster is one of the very early art-exhibition posters created by the artist and Atelier Mourlot.
