First appearance of this epic & internationally recognized Surrealistic Print in a PAE auction! Pavel Tchelitchew "Hide And Seek". This poster was purchased from the Print Mint back in the early 70's. It was printed in West Germany. This mind-blowing painting has been featured in college "introduction to art" books for over five decades! Hide-and-Seek is a 1942 oil on canvas painting in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, by Russian painter Pavel Tchelitchew. Tchelitchew was given a retrospective of his work at MoMA in 1942. Hide and Seek was completed by Tchelitchew in 1942, but he had been working on variations on its imagery since about 1934. A phenomenon seen in Hide and Seek is that of the "simultaneous image", in which a degree of ambiguity exists between various components of the composition. This is not unique to Hide and Seek.
Condition: Foxing, toning.
