The Foire de Paris really utilised popular artists of the time... and this fantastic advertisement for the fair in 1965 is no exception. Jean Colin has created an abstract that immediately attracts attention.

The world's most experienced airline wants you to visit Australia for the cute and cuddly koala bears. Of course they're in every tree, on every homestead and in most shopping centres! If you're lucky you might catch the little fella's at the gallery when next you're in...
Goodness! Guinness!Goodness! Guinness!
Peppe
c. 1960
120 x 160 cm
My goodness... my Guinness... so THAT's where I left it!!? Very cute image for the famous Guinness company by Peppe - produced in the campaign that still runs, centred around the goodness of Guinness... and it is... good that is!
SavoraSavora
Herve Morvan
c. 1950
199 x 150 cm
Fish, lettuce and any type of pig... will all be on their knees just to receive a dash of Savora mustard with vinegar to help give them some kick!? A very cutesy image from a master - Herve Morvan.
Willi's Wine BarWilli's Wine Bar
Sophie Herxheimer
1997
70 x 100 cm
Sophie Herxheimer was born in 1963 and bought up in a very colourful house in the south of London! This is obviously reflected in her work and every day life, with her air of the eccentric. A fabulous poster for Willi's Wine Bar in 1997... already a great conversational piece.

Xavier Mariscal
1998
70 x 100 cm
Xavier (or Javier) Mariscal produced this gorgeous poster for Willi's Wine Bar in 1998. Born in a hot February in Valencia, Mariscal now lives in a studio in Barcelona with anything from 24-64 people and a bougainvillea that spans 26 metres! Perhaps it's his muse?
Les Gemeaux: La Mouette IvanovLes Gemeaux: La Mouette Ivanov
Michel Bouvet
2000
176 x 120 cm
Often utilising humour in his poster designs and concentrating on the 'drama' in typography, Bouvet here has perhaps had a laugh at someone elses expense? A thought provoking poster for a 'post' Chekov provocation for Ivanov (the gull!).
Les Gemeaux: PlatonovLes Gemeaux: Platonov
Michel Bouvet
2002
176 x 120 cm
Obviously the humorous Bouvet loves his sickles? A great poster for Les Gemeaux produced in 2002, with quite different typography (and contrast) to his other posters for the French theatrical festival.
Les Gemeaux: Les Bonnes MenageresLes Gemeaux: Les Bonnes Menageres
Michel Bouvet
1994
174 x 118 cm
A meal of buttons is always appealing... Les Gemeaux and Michel Bouvet do it again! Make you stop and stare... This is one of Bouvet's earlier Les Gemeaux images.
Les Gemeaux: Les PersesLes Gemeaux: Les Perses
Michel Bouvet
2000
175 x 116 cm
Les Gemeaux presents 'Les Perses' (the Persians). Is that an ancient Persian axe handle Bouvet has depicted? The number of images Bouvet has produced for the festival (since 1994 and often more than one in the same year) is fantastic!
Les Gemeaux: Monsieur XLes Gemeaux: Monsieur X
Michel Bouvet
2003
176 x 120 cm
Promoting images for the French avant-garde theatrical festival, Les Gemeaux, Michel Bouvet certainly caught attention with 'Monsieux X'... no further explanation!
Les Gemeaux: Rendez-Vous ChoregraphiquesLes Gemeaux: Rendez-Vous Choregraphiques
Michel Bouvet
2002
120 x 176 cm
Galerie Montmartre has a number of incredible images by Michel Bouvet at the moment. Designs that will literally stop you in your tracks, very reasonably priced and certainly conversational.
Avant-PremiereAvant-Premiere
Michel Bouvet
1997
120 x 175 cm
Born in Tunis, in 1955, Michel Bouvet made his way from North Africa to Paris and established a studio with other young designers, creating posters and works of art such as this 'stop and stare' design for the Musee des arts et Metiers preview exhibition.
Trophee Lancome 1992Trophee Lancome 1992
Adami
1992
115 x 172 cm
A beautifully coloured 'action' poster for... golf, by Valerio Adami, who was no doubt a dab hand at the game? Another golf poster produced for the Lancome golf tournament of 1992.
Trophee Lancome 1985Trophee Lancome 1985
Kandl
1985
120 x 170 cm
For golf lovers... what could be better than a golf poster featuring the much loved and cosseted ball for a golf tournament run by Lancome? A more modern example of Galerie Montmartre posters and very striking.
Victoria 'Pink Heath'Victoria 'Pink Heath'
Vernon Jones
1944
64 x 100 cm
Victorian govt departments, societies and individuals, met on 18 Sep 1951 and unanimously agreed on Common (pink) Heath as the state floral emblem. The Pink Heath, epacris impressa, was officially proclaimed on 11 Nov 1958. Vernon Jones got in early with this beautiful poster in 1944!
GETGET
LeClerc
1937
158 x 118 cm
'Demand a Peppermint Get'! (apparently 'they' don't just give you one if you ask nicely... ?!). Have it dry as a digestive or try it with water - very refreshing!
