BERNARD VILLEMOT (1911-1989) BALLY. 1989.

Condition A- / A: minor creases and abrasions at edges and in image.
Here, in his last poster, Villemot displays his mastery of the art form. In an impressive vertical format, this agile lady kicks around the globe, yet her shadow is cast as a man's leg. An alluring and daring poster. Villemot / Bon Salle 313, The Poster 731, Encyclopedie de l'Affiche p. 113.
