About the Item
On Friday, November 2, 1979, at 3:15 p.m., Jacques Mesrine was at the wheel of a grayish-brown metallic BMW, accompanied by his partner Sylvia Jeanjacquot.
He is surrounded by BRB men on the Porte de Clignancourt roundabout in Paris.
A tarpaulin-covered truck in front of his vehicle concealed gunmen who opened fire on Public Enemy No. 1 and his companion.
Twenty-one bullets were fired.
Eighteen high-velocity bullet holes were found on his body. He was killed in possession of grenades and handguns concealed at his companion's feet. The latter was seriously wounded, losing an eye in the shoot-out, and her poodle was killed.
The death of Mesrine is the first case in which the police's claim of self-defense was called into question, as they opened fire without warning.

- 1943 original poster titled "Katyn - Paradise Underground..."Located in PARIS, FRThe 1943 poster titled "Katyn - Paradise Underground..." is a poignant and historically significant artwork that sheds light on a tragic chapter of World War II. Created during a tumultuous time, this poster serves as a visual reminder of the atrocities committed at Katyn. The artist behind this poster is not widely known, but their message is powerful. The poster features an arresting image of bound hands breaking free from the earth, symbolizing the victims of the Katyn Massacre who were executed and buried in mass graves. Katyn, a forest in Russia, became the site of a mass murder of Polish military officers and intellectuals by the Soviet NKVD in 1940. The poster's title, "Paradise Underground," is ironic, as it alludes to the horrific fate that befell these victims who were buried in secret graves. This poster is significant not only for its artistic composition but also for its role in raising awareness about the Katyn Massacre during the war. It was essential in disseminating information about the Soviet Union's actions, which had initially been denied by Soviet authorities. Today, "Katyn - Paradise Underground..." stands as a somber testament to the enduring power of art to convey complex and tragic narratives. It reminds us of the importance of remembering historical events and the role that art plays...Category
