Richard Paul Lohse - Signed Exhibition Poster

1971

Hand signed by Richard Paul Lohse, lower right. Sheet size : 70,0 x 49,8 cm. This exhibition poster was created for the solo exhibition of Lohse at Galleria La Polena in Genoa, Italy, 1971. Precise geometry, bold colors, and a perfect balance of form—this exhibition poster represents the visionary work of Richard Paul Lohse, a pioneer of constructive and systematic art.

Lohse was a master of geometric abstraction, and this composition reflects his signature approach: a grid-based system of interlocking colors, where each hue interacts dynamically with the others. His work embodies the ideals of Swiss Concrete Art, a movement that sought to eliminate personal expression in favor of universal, objective compositions.  
Richard Paul Lohse (1902-1988) was a Swiss artist and graphic designer, known for his modular color systems and rationalist compositions. He played a key role in the development of Concrete Art, alongside artists like Max Bill and Theo van Doesburg. His work is deeply rooted in Bauhaus principles, emphasizing clarity, repetition, and balance. Lohse’s influence extends beyond fine art into graphic design and visual communication, making him one of the most important figures in 20th-century modernism.
