This bold lithographic poster commemorates the thirteenth Salon de Mai in 1957, at the Musée d'Art Moderne. It takes Picasso's arresting 'torse de femme' (woman's torso) as its central focus. The Salon de Mai (May Salon) was a yearly exhibition held by group of French artists who first gathered in 1943, during the Nazi occupation of France, in a café in Paris. They stood in Stark opposition to Nazi ideology and its condemnation of 'degenerate art'.
