Bernard Villemot
Original poster by Bernard Villemot - Floralies Internationales Paris 1964

1964

About the Item

This splendid poster was made by the famous poster artist Bernard Villemot 🇫🇷 (1911-1989) in 1964, to promote the Floralies Internationales which took place from April 24 to May 3, 1964, at the Palais de la Défense in Paris. The Floralies (from the Latin floralia) are horticultural exhibitions where many flowering plants are presented. Created in 1906, the Floralia are organized each year in a different city. At first an exhibition of plants as well as a reconstitution of gardens, the stakes are now turned towards an aesthetic and cultural research where the garden intervenes as a space of art and culture. Floral shows are said to be international if they gather exhibitors from several countries. Exhibition - Flower Chabrillac in Paris

1989 original poster Grand Prix de Paris Louis Vuitton Longchamp by Razzia
By Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz)
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1989 original poster Grand Prix de Paris Louis Vuitton Longchamp by the celebrated artist Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix Dénériaz) is an iconic example of his distinctive style. Created to promote the Grand Prix de Paris, a prestigious horse racing event held at Longchamp Racecourse on June 25, 1989, the poster reflects both the grandeur of the event and the luxury synonymous with its sponsor, Louis Vuitton. The poster’s design is minimalist yet impactful, focusing on a rear view of a British guard, dressed in traditional red ceremonial uniform with a tall bearskin hat adorned with a blue plume. The guard is standing at attention, gazing over the scenic racetrack, which stretches into the background with a prominent windmill, a symbol often associated with Longchamp. This deliberate compositional choice centers the guard as a dignified observer, adding a ceremonial and stately quality to the event. The use of the guard in this imagery reflects the participation of the Irish Guards' Band, who performed during the event, a fact noted in the inscription at the bottom of the poster. The reference to the British monarchy's Queen’s Irish Guards adds to the prestige and international appeal of the race. The elegance of the poster reflects the intersection of royal tradition, horse racing, and high fashion. Razzia’s artistic approach is known for its clean lines, bold compositions, and a blend of Art Deco influences. In this poster, the striking contrast between the vibrant red of the guard’s uniform...
