Jean-Marie Christin was a French painter and poet celebrated for his lyrical abstractions, where light and texture merge in soft gradations of blues, whites, and greys reminiscent of sea, sky, and atmosphere. His work explores the delicate boundary between abstraction and landscape, evoking both stillness and movement.

Galerie Nichido, originally founded in Tokyo in 1928, became one of the leading institutions bridging Japanese and European modernism. Its Paris branch, established on Faubourg Saint-Honoré, played a key role in presenting major artists of post-war abstraction, including Christin.

A true collectible and an authentic vintage French poster, this piece captures the quiet poetry of 1980s abstraction and the legacy of Franco-Japanese artistic exchange. Perfect for collectors of original exhibition posters, modern French art, or Parisian gallery history.
