RAYMOND SAVIGNAC (1907-2002) FRANCE COMES TO TEXAS. 1957.
30 1/4x21 inches, 76 3/4x53 1/4 cm. L'Edition Artistique, Paris.
Condition B+ / A-: repaired tears at edges; pin holes and minor losses in corners.
Dallas' own Neiman Marcus department store hosted an almost two-week long celebration of France and French culture with exhibitions of food, art, shopping and more (the event was famously inaugurated by a visit from Coco Chanel). Naturally, the organizers chose France's premiere post-war graphic designer to help promote the event. A classic, humorous image in Savignac's signature falsely-naive style. This is the smaller format. Savignac 535.
