Smithsonian Resident Associates Program 1985 20th Anniversary Poster - Gene Davis Acrylic Print
Celebrate a milestone in American cultural history with this museum-quality reproduction of the 1985 Smithsonian Resident Associates Program 20th Anniversary Poster, originally designed by the acclaimed artist Gene Davis. This archival-grade acrylic print captures the vibrant energy and bold colorism that defined Davis's iconic style, transforming a commemorative piece into a timeless work of fine art for your home or office.
Gene Davis, a leading figure of the Washington Color School, revolutionized abstract art with his signature "stripe paintings," using rhythmic bands of color to explore perception and movement. This 1985 poster exemplifies his mastery, blending institutional celebration with avant-garde aesthetics. The Smithsonian's 20th anniversary marked a pivotal moment in public arts engagement, and Davis's design—with its dynamic vertical stripes—symbolizes the program's enduring impact on cultural accessibility.
Our premium reproduction is crafted on 4mm (0.15") acrylic, ensuring a sleek, vibrant, and durable finish that rivals gallery displays. The straight-cut corners provide a modern look, while transparent backgrounds default to white for optimal presentation, allowing the bold Gene Davis stripes to command attention. Each print includes a complete hanging kit with hardware, screws, and pre-drilled screw holes at each corner (14mm/0.55" from the edge, with an 8mm/0.31" diameter hole and 15mm/0.6" screw head), making installation effortless.
