About the Item

Original 1985 poster by the French artist Jacques Monory for the Roland Garros tennis tournament. Known for his cinematic style and characteristic use of blue tones, Monory was a key figure in the French Narrative Figuration movement—a counterpart to Pop Art that emerged in the 1960s. His contribution to the Roland Garros poster series stands out for its atmospheric depth and striking visual composition, blending sport with the artist's introspective and symbolic aesthetic. Commissioning contemporary artists to design annual posters became a Roland Garros tradition in 1980, positioning the tournament not only as a major international sporting event but also as a cultural showcase. Monory’s 1985 design captures this dual identity, transforming the tennis court into a dramatic visual stage, imbued with mystery and motion. This edition is a landmark in the Roland Garros poster series and a rare example of Monory’s engagement with public art. It reflects the vibrant intersection of sport and contemporary visual culture in 1980s France. Original Poster Sport - Tennis - France

1982 vintage poster by Razzia for the Paris Posters exhibition

1982 vintage poster by Razzia for the Paris Posters exhibition

By Razzia (Gérard Courbouleix–Dénériaz)

Located in PARIS, FR

This striking 1982 vintage poster, designed by Razzia, was created to promote the Paris Posters exhibition at the Musée de l’Affiche et de la Publicité during the summer (Été 82). Featuring a bold and graphic collage-style composition, the artwork embodies the dynamic energy of 1980s design. Razzia, a renowned French graphic artist, is celebrated for his iconic Art Deco-inspired poster designs with a modern twist. In this piece, he juxtaposes a stylized black-and-white Eiffel Tower, a monochrome portrait of a woman, and an accordion transformed into the Arc de Triomphe, all set against a dramatic black background with vivid color accents. The use of cutout-style imagery and neon-inspired typography reflects the postmodern aesthetic of the early 1980s, capturing the bold creativity of the era. The vibrant contrast of yellow, red, and blue highlights adds to the poster’s visual impact, making it a standout example of contemporary French graphic design. A rare and collectible piece, this original Razzia poster...
