PAUL COLIN (1892-1985) LOTERIE NATIONALE / GRAND PRIX DE PARIS. 1966.
60 1/2x45 1/4 inches, 153 3/4x115 cm. Jean Laurance, Paris.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears and scuffing at edges; minor creases, abrasions and restoration along vertical and horizontal folds.
Colin designed another horse racing poster for the French Lottery in 1936. Here, with an economy of line, he manages to capture the speed and even the energy generated by the galloping horse. Not in Colin.
