About the Poster:
This authentic 1987 Carlo Carra Exhibition Poster was published by the renowned Mazzotta Editore to mark the major institutional retrospective CARRÀ Milano Roma. The graphic design showcases Carrà's foundational 1919 oil painting, Natura morta metafisica. The enigmatic composition features iconic elements of Metaphysical art, including a plaster bust, geometric wooden solids, a cylinder, and a stylized chalice cast against long, dramatic shadows. The lower white border displays crisp, dual-toned exhibition typography identifying the co-hosted Italian museum venues alongside the publisher's insignia.
 
About the Artist / Institution:
Carlo Carrà was a prominent Italian painter, art critic, and a leading figure of both the Futurist movement and Metaphysical Painting (Pittura Metafisica), which he co-founded alongside Giorgio de Chirico. His unique visual language combined geometric structural clarity with an unsettling, dreamlike stillness. The publisher, Mazzotta, founded in Milan, is world-famous for producing museum-grade graphic posters and academic art catalogs during the late 20th century, setting exceptional standards for fine art documentation.
