Singular Editions II:
Unique American Posters

        Although ProCreations was primarily interested in publishing poster series, it occasionally accepted commissions for events that were likely to be staged only once or for institutions that needed a defining image. The former category includes the Orlando Kool Jazz Festival and New Orleans' La Fete - New Orleans Summer Celebration. Both events wilted in the heat, but resulted in remarkable art. Jean Welch crafted her full spectrum print using only five color plates; etching each of these by hand using her eye to break down each element into it's component primary colors. La Fete gave ProCreations the chance to publish a portrait of jewellery designer Paloma Picasso as a child by her mother, Francoise Gilot. The artist Remarques of this print are each full-size, unique and magnificent drawings. "Le Train Bleu" celebrates the see-and-be-seen restaurant in New York's fashionable Bloomingdale's Department Store. "Living in New Orleans" was done for the Preservation Resource Center. It is a tour de force compression of two centuries of architectural style seen along the elegant St. Charles Avenue in New Orleans.
