Offered is a striking vintage 1983 “Spring Light” poster by Brazilian artist Antonio Peticov, presented in a substantial period wood frame under glass.
This is a documented Peticov composition featuring a field of brilliantly colored falling petals above a lush border of flowers, creating the distinctive sense of color, movement and optimism associated with the artist’s work. The lower portion bears the prominent PETICOV / SPRING LIGHT typography.
The work has been identified in poster archives as “Spring Light,” dated 1983, with documented examples measuring approximately 61 × 48 cm (24 × 18.9 in.) and associated with Bruce McGaw Graphics, Inc., New York.
COLLECTOR SIGNIFICANCE
Antonio Peticov is an internationally exhibited Brazilian artist whose career encompasses painting, sculpture, printmaking and large-scale public works. His distinctive use of color, geometry and symbolic imagery has developed a dedicated international following.
Rather than a newly produced reproduction, this example represents a vintage period poster of Peticov’s Spring Light composition, now more than four decades old.
The reverse also carries a handwritten “1985” notation, providing an additional period detail. The notation is being presented exactly as found and should not be confused with the documented 1983 publication date of the poster.
The substantial vintage framing adds considerable presence. The combination of the Peticov attribution, documented title, early-1980s date and surviving period presentation makes this particularly appealing for collectors of Brazilian modernism, Latin American art, vintage exhibition and art posters, and 20th-century graphic design.
