About the Artist
José Guerrero was a Spanish-born painter who became a significant figure in postwar American abstraction, moving between New York and Europe. His work is often associated with Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting, styles where gesture and atmosphere are as meaningful as subject matter. Guerrero's international perspective helped bridge artistic dialogues across continents.
This vintage gallery poster exemplifies how mid-century institutions introduced avant-garde painting to a broader public, translating the energy of the studio into a striking graphic format.

The Artwork
The Rose Fried Gallery was a pivotal New York institution in the 1950s and 1960s, known for championing international modernism and presenting groundbreaking exhibitions. In 1963, posters like this served as both exhibition announcements and cultural artifacts, circulating beyond gallery walls into artists' studios and collectors' homes.
This poster does not depict a narrative scene but instead embodies the spirit of contemporary painting—immediacy, freedom, and the belief that meaning can emerge from pure gesture. As a vintage poster from a transformative era, it reflects the dynamic atmosphere of New York's modern art scene.
Style & Characteristics
The composition is boldly abstract, featuring a field of white punctuated by assertive black, red, and blue marks. Broad, gestural strokes and scraped edges evoke a sense of speed and physicality, giving the print a studio-made authenticity.
The interplay of graphic clarity and expressive movement creates a tension that feels both controlled and emotional. Its high-contrast palette ensures visual impact, making it an ideal choice for minimalist or modern interiors. For more in this style, browse our minimalist selection.
In Interior Design
This mid-century modern poster is well-suited to living rooms, offices, or entryways where a focal point with art historical resonance is desired. It pairs beautifully with white walls, charcoal textiles, or warm wood accents, allowing the bold marks and primary colors to stand out.
Integrate it into a curated gallery wall with other modernist prints, or let it shine as a standalone statement. For a refined finish, consider a simple frame from our frames collection.
