About the Item

Original exhibition poster, plate signed. This compelling composition by Paul Jenkins merges abstraction with literary homage, created for The Beckett Festival in 1978. At its center is a striking portrait of Samuel Beckett, surrounded by layered fields of color, gestural marks, and intersecting lines that echo Jenkins’ signature abstract style. Known for his fluid technique and exploration of color as a dynamic force, Jenkins creates a visual dialogue between form and emotion. Here, translucent washes and textured passages frame the central image, suggesting movement, thought, and the complexity of Beckett’s work. The interplay of structure and spontaneity reflects both artists’ shared interest in introspection and modern expression. The plate signature adds authenticity and reinforces the connection to the artist’s hand, while the overall composition captures a moment where visual art and literature intersect. A sophisticated and visually rich poster from the pre-digital poster era, appealing to collectors of abstract expressionism and literary-related works. Framing available upon request.
