JACQUES AURIAC (1922-2003) MONTAINS / SEIGNEUR DES VINS DE TABLE.
60 3/4x43 3/4 inches, 154 1/4x111 cm. de La Vasselais, Paris.
Condition B+: creases, abrasions and restoration in margins and image; repaired pin holes at edges.
Color, vibrancy and humor are all qualities evident in Auriac's poster design. Sometimes employed as a single method and sometimes in concert, his posters are always eye-catching and exude modernity. His work can be viewed as a graphic distillation of three other great French poster artists: Raymond Savignac, Hervé Morvan and Jacques Nathan Garamond.
