RENÉ RAVO (1904-1998) LE PARISIEN LIBÉRÉ. Circa 1945. 14 1/2x10 3/4 inches, 36 3/4x27 1/4 cm. Vox Publicité, Paris. Condition A. Paper. Matted and framed. Ravo was a prolific poster designer in the post-war years, who followed the modern trends of commercial graphic design. During the German occupation of Paris in the Second World War, all free French press had to cease publication. When the city was liberated, the newspaper Le Parisien used this symbolic image to announce their liberation as well. The poster depicts a huge tri-color flame within the silhouette of a newspaper emerging from the base of the Arc d'Triomphe, where an unknown soldier is buried. This is the smaller format.
